Great video, I'm an owner of a Klx300 and I've been watching your videos since the beginning, I'm just learning of you being law enforcement. Let me tell you no b.s.,I've always said you seemed to be a down to earth, cool guy and I'm a black man from an inner city. Just saying great video and how prejudices can keep some good people apart. Ride safe and keep it up my brother 👍🏾
Man, thanks! I can’t agree more. I could not care one bit less what someone looks like on the outside. If someone is a nice person then I’ll hang with them. Too many people of all skin colors are asshats. I never understood why it matters honestly. I’m happy to hear from you especially with you being around this long. Thanks again for commenting!
@@FloridaTwoWheelAdventures 😂 You youngsters! I saw a video on older off-road riding and how it stimulates our brains. You’re doing all the right stuff! 😊
@@pinkiewerewolf just as long as nothing breaks when I fall off the bike, I’ll keep doing it! I’m a little slower than I used to be and my brain says, “That’s not a good idea” more often than it used to but I’m still dumb. Just sensibly dumb now! LOL
Riding distracts us from thinking about what went wrong in the past/yesterday and from worrying about the future/tomorrow. Balance activities and activities that keep us engaged and living 'now' or 'today' are good for depression. Being outside in the sun is also good for depression and mental health. Depression takes the only thing we have, now/today. Stress can turn into depression and continued stress can magnify the effects of depression. The stigma associated with depression keeps a lot of us, especially men, from seeking help with it... so we ride! ;) Everyone wants to complain about the cops but none of them want to put on their big boy/girl pants and show everyone how it's done. I wish Sheriffs would invite LE critics to go to academy and let them try out for the dept and see if they can do it better since they don't like how people are doing the job... there will be no takers... not one. I've said it many times, there's no way I would do that job. People never call the Police to tell them what a great day they are having. It's a lot to process, every single day. Ride much ;)
You’re most welcome! The bars are Pro Taper Evo ,Carmichael bend. No risers. And likely no, the cables don’t allow for much leeway, particularly the clutch cable. You’d likely need longer ones.
Everybodys got at least one of the 7 deadly sins i feel like. To what degree is anybodies guess. 🤷♂️ Also, i totally disassociate from being a cheap ass accountant once i leave work. Then? THEN! Well, im just a cheap ass. 😂 Good talk good talk.
Thanks! I’m glad you got my points! People are just flawed creatures. As soon as one realizes it and learns to accept people for it, it’s easier to get along, in my opinion. I have always been a cheap ass too but mostly due to not having any money! LOL it’s funny how people usually only earn extra money when they’re too old to enjoy it!

Great video, keep them coming!
Excellent thoughts my friend. 👍
Thanks, I’m just happy to still have thoughts. I’m not getting any younger! LOL

You get it, my friend. Life can suck it if you let it. Finding balance is one of the most important things to do.
Where are you riding? Looks fun
That’s the Richloam tract of the Withlacoochee State Forest. North of Dade City.
Great video ! What bars are those ? Do you have risers ? If so , were the cables long enough ?
And thank you for your service !
You’re most welcome!
