ATGATT I dont even follow that but it is a good rule to follow. Sweat whips off road rash doesn't.

As for her getting back on a motorcycle not a big surprise. Alot of people call us crazy but untill you have ridden you will never understand.

Watch a buddy go into a guard rail.(Not a fun day). Broken leg, arm, lots of internal organs injuried. L3 of his spine broke. Talked to him a few days ago he isn't even competely healed from it and is talking about getting another bike. May I also had he only started riding this year.

wow man...the imagery is nasty. thats why i wear atgatt. not worth it.

are helmet laws in place in the US? coz i honestly cant think of a more stupid thing than riding a bike without a helmet.

ouch. at least hes alive and keen to ride again

i watched a mate of mine take a slide last year into a concrete post. snapped his femur and shin in half. if it hit him anywhere else though, it would of been a different story.

well..i guess the obvious question is can ya swim?

what kind of kayaking do you want to get into? i have a 12.5' and a 10' kayak that i use for camping but they're also great on lakes and can handle small/med rapids..w/the 10 footer being more maneuverable and the 12.5 being faster.

honestly, what i would do is figure out what my pursuits are/what kind of water i'll be kayaking on the most, then go to a kayak shop and sit in as many kayaks as possible. even better if you can locate a store w/demo days...and then hit the water! kayaking is pretty straight forward, you can pick up a book to get an idea of efficient paddling technique. hope that helped! have fun, kayaking is a blast

I had something like her when I was a kid. We use to climb trees all the time. I guess I was up like 40ish feet when I slipped and fell. On the way down I hit a branch and it ripped off all the skin from my waist to my armpit. I was knocked out and I woke up a little bit later and had to walk for like 20 minutes to find my mom. No scars tho since I was young.
