I'm sure this was posted here, but I was remembering my worst day out in the woods, so, here it goes- Many years ago, I was on my second dirt bike- it was a 2stroke Kawi 125 enduro. I had been out all day, in unfamiliar territory, it was getting dark fast, & the we were trying to get out of this area- vast,bigger than ANY place I'd ever riiden on, I got lost many times & when it started getting dark, I think I was 3rd out of the 6 guys I was w/. So we're riding along, thinking we're on the 'out trail, when we run into one of our original crew of riders, & he(Knew the place!),, started leading us outta there. We're going along this one trail, that had a 6ft. drop on the left, & it seemed to be going OK, when the guy behind me hit my rear wheel w/ his front, & DOWN I went. Everyone stopped & helped me get my bike up(6 frikkin' feet!) the drop. We get going & by now it's PITCH- Couldn''t see a thing(My lights had bee removed so my bike would look more"MX"), So now we're travelling thru a creek(about a 1/4, maybe less-- mile of still unfamialar territory to me) when the guy ahead of me stops! Baby, we were flying, too! So I slammed into the back of him, flattening his tire, & where did I go down? to the left, & into about 4 feet of water, the bike was on top of me, I had my heels on the frame, pushing it up & out of the water, but couldn't breathe, so I had to come up- I figured my friends would be 'right there' to help, but the ones behind me wrecked, above water, & were laughing so hard, they were useless. Anyway, I got the bike out the next day,,changed the oil like 5 times & dryed the airbox, etc. She started up, second kick, I ran the dogout of 'er till I got my 1st 4stroke honda, a couple months later......
