After a few years of not having any motorcycles, we are finally no longer motorcycle-free.  Funny how the little pests just keep sneaking back into the garage. 😉 I ended up with a honda CRF150R and Jason bought a KTM 300.  Jason raced motocross as a kid, but I’ve only bobbled around trails and ridden dual sports, so last weekend we loaded up the bikes and headed to Riverdale Raceway to ride the motocross track with Jessica and Cam.  It was mine and jessica’s first time on a MX track.  Jessica just learned to ride a few months ago and did totally bad ass at the track! It was a GREAT DAY!

I know it’s been a while, but I haven’t completely forgotten about the photo challenge I was doing. “One photo a day” turned into “one photo a week” which turned into “please just go outside and take a darn photo already!” but hey, life happens!

This is #7. What you wore today. Obviously it’s motorcycle gear! It’s been a while since I’ve had it all on. I need new pants. The brown ones are burned and torn and pretty well worn out!

9: A Mess

#9: a mess.  The bike didn’t really get THAT dirty actually. I just liked the colors in the photo. I didn’t pick my number either… 149 came with the bike. When I get new plastics and graphics for her, I’ll probably pick a different number. No idea what though.

#10: Hands. Ok, just one hand really, but it still counts.

11: Something Orange

#11: Something Orange. This was the easiest one of the whole list. We have an orange Mini Cooper that I’m *extremely* surprised I didn’t get a single photo of… but Jason also has this badass orange KTM that’ll get the job done.

Can’t wait to go back!

    So cool! Pictures look amazing! I had so much fun, we definitely need to do that again! (Also, you make me look way more bad-ass than reality portrayed)
