The Dirt Bike

I know it's been awhile since I posted a story but this one is worth the wait! The only thing that could make it better would be if I had a picture to go with it!! so check it: We went out to the parents for Father’s Day festivities yesterday and my brother Matthew borrowed his buddy’s dirt bike & brought it over. So everyone was taking a turn riding on it. I’ve never ridden a dirt bike before and have been wanting to try it out. Of course I’m too scared right!? I finally work up some gumption and decide that I am going to do it!! But 1st Jenny decides she wants to just see if she can get the thing started but she doesn’t want to ride on it. So we’re all kinda gathered around watching to see if she’s smarter than the dirt bike! Clearly that was a mistake!! She manages to get the thing started and then doesn’t really know what to do with it so in true Jenny fashion she just lets go of it and it’s heading RIGHT for me! I had no where to go-I was trapped between the outside set of stairs and the picnic table so that bike totally hit me!!!! Knocked me down on the stairs and ran over me!! I am so sure!!! I’m all banged up now!!! So of course now I’m too scared to try riding it myself!! After a few minutes of the children trying to give me a pep talk I decide to give it a try! I managed to get it started on the 1st try but couldn’t quite get the hang of keeping the gas going so it took me a few more starts before I was ready to go. My biggest fear was of course that I would tip over and after already having the weight of the bike on me I really didn’t want to have to deal with that again!! So I get going but at 1st felt like I was going too fast but couldn’t seem to get my hand on the brakes and I was too worried about tipping over that I couldn’t get my balance enough to pull my feet up so they’re just dragging in the dirt!! I made it like ½ way around the yard and felt I was done!! A pathetic 1st attempt but hey at least I tried it!!!!!
