parting ways
well boy's and girl's the dreaded time has arived, On sat. I'm parting ways with the beloved hawk,
I would like to extend gratitude to every one here you have all been so helpful, I've relied on some of you as family, and while I'll be lurking and try to help new brothers and sisters through problems that arise I won't be street riding at this time. The bright side is a current member who has had a few hawks will be the proud new owner of my baby I'm sure he will drop in and say hi, And at least I can rest assured my baby is in good hands the hawk will be gone but NEVER forgoten 
keep the rubber side down and enjoy.

I can't go cold turkey in the dirt yet, too many outstanding roads up here to explore, but I have been itching to go Adventure/dual sporting....it is a lot safer, and there are a ton of guys out here that have them...so I feel ya...Good luck with it, and keep in touch with the clan here....

Dirt bikes are cool. Haven't ridden one in a long time but I should get one. Problem is I'm running out of space and don't want to give up any of the bikes I have now.
Neil, you will be missed. It has been a pleasure having you with us and I think we all know that you will be back, probably with another Superhawk sometime in the future.
Keep the rubber side down and get some air for us all!

Bye Neil, keep in touch and enjoy the ride.
What bike(s) will you be riding?
And, as always, be careful! Last weekend we had to pickup our son at the emergency room. He cased a 90' double and dislocated his shoulder, with bone chips on the side. Of course his CRF was built much stronger than him and barely noticed the crash.

good luck man, I did the dirtbike thing about two years ago. I only lasted 4 months without a sportbike. I bought the superhawk and never looked back, I couldn't believe how addicting this sport is.

Since dirtbike riding tends to scare me I've found an acceptable compromise: My Superhawk serves as a sportbike and daily driver and my mountain bike satisfies the dirt desire and provides great exercise.
Speaking of which, Neil, you may want to consider a fitness program if you don't already have one. Motocrossers are hard on the body. Well, at least my trying to age body.

We all know you'll end up getting another Superhawk sometime in the future. It's all good. Just learn as much as you can riding in the dirt. 22 has mentioned countless times how useful those skills become in saving your a$$ on the street. Riding in the dirt forces you to either be uncomfortable on, or one with, the bike. I prefer the latter.
Aight, now go do a burnout!

leaving sat. morning to pick up the rmz my riding started in the dirt untill I learned it was easier to chase girls in a car rather than a dirtbike then I found street bikes worked even better!! I know what you mean about a fitness plan birdoprey I rode the local orv trails on my cousins kfx 400 quad thursday and my poor back and shoulders hurt bad but what a workout hanging on I'll post up a few pics first of the week talk to you all soon
