I'M SO SHOCKED & AMAZED!!!!!!! I'M SPEECHLESS TOO & THAT NEVER HAPPENS!!!!!!!!! LOL. I JUST GOT ON THE 933FLZ SITE & SAW I'M THE FEATURED MEMEBER TODAY. I LOOKED AT THE PICTURE THREE TIMES & WAS LIKE,NO WAY, THAT CAN'T BE ME!! LOL. ANYWAYS,I AM SOOOOO GRATEFUL THAT MJ HAD PICKED MY PAGE TODAY BECAUSE I HAVE PUT SO MUCH TIME & EFFORT INTO IT. EVEN IF I DON'T WIN THE CAR,I'M ATLEAST PROUD TO SAY I WAS ATLEAST PICKED FOR IT & THAT MY EFFORT DIDN'T GO UNNOTICED. THANKS SO MUCH AGAIN MJ!!! AND GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE CHOSEN!!!

OK,NOW AFTER THAT LAST CRASH THAT LEFT ME WITH TWO BROKEN RIBS AND A HOLE IN MY SHIN,I HAD DECIDED TO WAIT TO GET ON A BIKE.BUT,FIRST,LET ME EXPLAIN ONE THING. MY BOYFRIEND'S TWO MOST PRIZE POSSESIONS ARE HIS TRUCK & HIS DIRTBIKE. NOTHING ELSE. JUST THOSE TWO THINGS. OK,SO NOW ITS JANUARY 8TH (MY BIRTHDAY) LAST YEAR AND ORBIE & I DECIDE TO GO RIDING. I WAS STILL WAY SKEPTICAL ON GETTING ON HIS BIKE,BUT WHEN WE WENT HE WAS INSISTING THAT I RIDE AGAIN. OK,WE WERE RIDING IN FRONT OF AN OFFICE COMPLEX THAT HAD A FIELD WITH A MINI MOTOCROSS TRACK & THERE WERE PEOPLE RIDING ALL AROUND. EVEN LITTLE KIDS ON LITTLE 50'S. I JUMPED ON THE BIKE & GOT REALLY NERVOUS BECAUSE THE KIDS WEREN'T REALLY PAYING ATTENTION & ME BEING VERY INEXPERIENCED DID NOT WANT TO HURT ONE. SO I DID ONE LAP AROUND THE TRACK ON ORBIE'S BIKE & THEN PUT IT IN FIRST GEAR & CAME IN TOWARDS THE TRUCK. WELL,I HAVE REALLY SMALL HANDS & HAD LONG FINGER NAILS AT THAT TIME,SO WHEN I WAS COMING IN & TRIED TO GRAB THE FRONT BREAK,MY HAND SLIPPED & MISSED THE FRONT BREAK CUZ OF MY NAILS,SO I HIT THE THROTTLE AND TOOK OUT THE WHOLE BACKSIDE OF THE TRUCK BED,KNOCKED MY FRIEND OFF DANIELLE THAT WAS SITTING ON THE EDGE OF THE BED,RAN OVER & COMPLETELY LAYED OUT JASON ON THE CONCRETE,THEN TURNED & BOUNCED OFF HIM & OFF THE FRONT BUMPER & FLEW OVER THE TRUCK HOOD ONTO THE CONCRETE PAVEMENT!! (THE TRUCK IS JACKED UP TOO!!) EVERYONE CAME RUNNING OVER TO ME WORRIED ABOUT ME,I WAS REALLY SHAKEN AND IN A LITTLE SHOCK,BUT OK. WHEN I REALIZED WHAT HAPPENED A FEW SECONDS LATER,I ASKED HOW THE TRUCK WAS & ORBIE REPLIED "NOT GOOD".JASON & DANIELLE WERE OK,BUT I DENTED & SCRATCHED THE WHOLE SIDE OF THE TRUCK BED. WHEN I SAW THAT I STARTED CRYING!! NOT ONLY DID I WRECK THE BIKE,BUT I WRECKED THE TRUCK TOO!!! ORBIE'S TWO MOST PRIZE POSSESIONS I DESTROYED TOGETHER!!! I HAVE NOT EVER FELT SOOOO BAD IN MY LIFE!! HE WAS EXTREMELY NICE ABOUT IT & KNEW IT WAS NOT INTENTIONAL AND ACTUALLY TEASED ME ABOUT IT UNTIL THE TRUCK HAD GOTTEN FIXED. WELL IT TURNS OUT,HE FIXED THE BIKE ON HIS OWN,AND IT COSTED $1500 IN DAMAGES TO GET THE WHOLE SIDE PANEL OF THE TRUCK REPLACED!! (YOU KNOW ORBIE MUST REALLY LOVE ME,BECAUSE NO MAN WOULD'VE BEEN SO NICE ABOUT A WOMAN DESTROYING HIS TWO PRIZE POSESSIONS!!) ANYWAYS,I REFUSED TO GET BACK ON ANY DIRTBIKE UNTIL IT WAS MY OWN & WAS WAY SMALLER & LESS POWERFUL. SO I DIDN'T RIDE FOR A WHOLE ENTIRE YEAR AND THIS YEAR FOR MY BIRTHDAY ORBIE HAD BOUGHT ME MY OWN DIRTBIKE. HE BOUGHT ME A 2005 YAMAHA TT-R230. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!! IT HAS AN ELECTRIC START (BECAUSE I CAN'T KICK START A BIKE!!) AND IT'S A TRAIL BIKE SO IT'S POWERFUL,BUT NOT POWERFUL LIKE ORBIE'S,AND IT'S THE PERFECT SIZE BECAUSE I CAN TOUCH THE GROUND WHEN I'M ON IT!! SO NOW THAT YOU KNOW MY HISTORY,I CAN START TELLING YOU MY RIDING STORIES....

I HAVE SOME GREAT STORIES TO SHARE,ON HOW I FIRST LEARNED ON RIDING A DIRTBIKE.BUT IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND THOSE STORIES & WHERE I CAME FROM I HAVE TO GIVE YOU A QUICK BRIEFING ON MY PAST WITH IT.I HAVE NOT BEEN RIDING THAT LONG EITHER,I ABSOLUTELY LOVE TO RIDE,BUT STILL AM QUITE INEXPERIENCED. WELL,FIRST OFF I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO HAVE A HARLEY.MY UNCLE OWNS A BIKE SHOP IN CLERMONT AND THEY ALL RIDE HARLEYS. THEY'VE ALL TOLD ME THAT IF I WANNA LEARN TO RIDE I BETTER LEARN TO RIDE ON A DIRT BIKE FIRST SO I DON'T DESTORY MY STREET BIKE. WELL,THIS IS WHERE MY BOYFRIEND,ORBIE,COMES INTO THE PICTURE.WE STARTED DATING 4YRS AGO,AND HE RACES HIS DIRTBIKE FOR FTR (FLORIDA TRAIL RIDERS).HE HAS A CR250 THAT IS ALL BORED OUT & SUPED UP AND HAS NO FACTORY PARTS ON IT. NONE OF HIS FRIENDS THAT RACE WANNA RIDE HIS BIKE EVER BECAUSE THEY SAY THEY'D KILL THEMSELVES ON IT.OK,WELL NEEDLESS TO SAY,NOT A GOOD BIKE FOR ME TO START LEARNING ON. BUT OF COARSE,I'M PRETTY DARING & OPEN TO ANYTHING FOR ME BEING A WOMAN.SO,THIS IS WHERE MY PART ONE BEGINS....IT WAS THE DAY AFTER THANKSGIVING TWO YEARS AGO AND ORBIE & I WENT TO THIS BOYSCOUT CAMP TO VISIT SOME OF OUR FRIENDS SO WE ALL COULD RIDE.ORBIE TOOK HIS BIKE & HIS BEST FRIEND JASON HAD HIS,SO ALL DAY LONG ORBIE WAS TEACHING ME HOW TO STOP,START,RIDE & STAND,SWITCH GEARS,AND TRY TO KICK START THE BIKE(STILL CAN'T DO) WHILE RIDING IN THIS BIG FIELD. I WAS GETTING PRETTY CONFIDENT (AND COCKY THINKING I KNEW IT ALL & WAS A PRO ALREADY...LOL) SO I TOLD HIM I WAS BORED OF RIDING IN CIRCLES IN THIS FIELD & WANTED TO START RIDING THE TRAILS. SO ORBIE JUMPED ON JASON'S CRF450 AND I GOT ON ORBIE'S CR250 AND WE RODE AROUND FOR A COUPLE HOURS THROUGH THESE TRAILS & BY PONDS & STUFF. IT WAS REALY COOL. SO WE WENT IN & TOOK A BREAK.IT WAS GETTING LATE SO WE DECIDED TO GO FOR ONE LAST RIDE...HA.HA.HA.OK, ORBIE & I ARE ON THE TRAILS,I'M DOING FINE,THEN HE KICKS IT UP INTO SECOND,SO I DO TOO,THEN HE TAKES ME OVER SOME MINI JUMP & I DID IT NO PROBLEM. I WAS GETTING A LITTLE NERVOUS AFTER THAT SO I KICKED THE BIKE BACK INTO 1ST GEAR AND SLOWED DOWN.BUT, HE DECIDES TO TAKE OFF,WELL NOT KNOWING HOW TO GET BACK,I HAD TO FOLLOW HIM, SO I HIT THE THROTTLE REALLY HARD TO TAKE OFF AFTER HIM,BUT WITH HIS BIKE THAT'S SOMETHING YOU JUST CAN'T DO AND ARE SUPPOSED TO BE IN 2ND GEAR FOR. SO SINCE I DID THAT IT KICKED HIS FRONT TIRE UP & I WAS WHEELING!!! OK,REALLY SCARED AT THIS POINT BECAUSE I'M HEADING INTO THE BRUSH & WOODS RIGHT AT 4 BIG TREES DOING A WHEELIE!!! NEXT THING I KNOW,I'VE WHEELIED INTO A HUGE 4FT DITCH THAT I DIDN'T SEE BECAUSE THE WEEDS HAD COVERED UP!! THE BACK TIRE WENT INTO IT,THEN THE FRONT ONE HIT & I FLEW 15FT OVER THE HANDLE BARS!!! OK,NOW WHEN I FLEW MY SHIN HIT THE HANDLE BARS AND PUT A HOLE IN MY LEG ABOUT THE SIZE OF A DIME (WHICH NOW I REALIZE I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN STITCHED).MY SHOES FLEW OFF,MY PANTS RIPPED RIGHT DOWN THE SIDE,AND I TRIED STANDING UP BUT COULDN'T CUZ I SOME HOW WAS UNDERNEATH ABOUT 3FT OF THORN BUSHES & VINE!!! ORBIE HAD TURNED AROUND & NOTICED I WASN'T THERE SO HE WENT BACK TO FIND ME AND COULDN'T.BUT THEN HE SAW THE TRACKS GOING INTO THE WOODS & JUMPED OFF OF HIS BIKE AND DOWN INTO THE DITCH TO GET ME.HE'S FLIPPIN OUT ASKING IF I'M OK,AND I'M FLIPPIN OUT WORRYING ABOUT THE BIKE!!! HE'S LIKE "WHO CARES THE BIKE CAN BE FIXED,HOW ARE YOU??" I WAS FINE,A LITTLE SHAKEN,HE GOT ME OUTTA THE VINES & THORNS & THEN GOT THE BIKE OUT AND WE RODE FOR A LITTLE BIT MORE BEFORE WE WENT BACK TO CAMP.OK,TWO HOURS LATER,THAT'S WHEN THE PAIN BEGAN...I COULD BARELY WALK LATER ON. MY SHIN & MY WHOLE ENTIRE BODY HURT LIKE A PAIN THAT I'VE NEVER FELT BEFORE!!! I MADE IT HOME & INTO THE SHOWER & INTO BED.I COULDN'T MOVE THE NEXT DAY LITERALLY. BOTH SIDES OF BOTH ARMS ENDED UP BEING BLACK & BLUE (MY BOSSES MADE ME WEAR LONG SLEEVES!!) AND A WEEK LATER I HAD PROBLEMS BREATHING,SNEEZING,COUGHING,ETC...SO I WENT TO THE DOCTOR'S. IT TURNS OUT I CRACKED TWO RIBS!!! (I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY DIDN'T HURT RIGHT AWAY,MAYBE CUZ I HAD MORE PAIN SOMEWHERE ELSE THAT I DIDN'T NOTICE...LOL). SO,AFTER THIS WRECK,I WAS NOT AFRAID TO GET BACK ON A BIKE,BUT I FIGURED I BETTER WAIT AWHILE....
