I think the cooler weather has more people going out to ride. Unfortunately there have been an increase in rollover fatalities. You have to wear a good harness and wear a helmet if you're going to ride on much off-camber stuff. My worry is that the uncautious few will spoil the hobby for the rest of us. Like they did with the 3-wheelers.

Still sexy even today. I had four. A 70, 90 and the 110 Collar bone crusher. Never knew why they had that nickname? All three had rigid front forks. Then moved up to a Banshee and then back to 185S. Guy I met that raced Moto X side cars said if you master the ATC it means you never touch the seat and you wont get thrown or run over your own ankles. He was spot on. Love the color of the one in the photo. It like retro 1970 all over again. 7lbs of air per tire? Riders doing foolish things always led to trouble.

It's a little dirty, time to take it to town for a bath. These are 35" tires on this for scale!

Fashion forward! I'd forgotten about those DG gaiters. All dressed up like the Johnny O' show!
