Study Break: AKA "Motorcycles at the Farm"

Here are a few pics of Gabe and me blowing off some steam at the farm...
Gabe took a tremendous spill when he was closelined by a wire. He was full throttle crossing the bridge and hit a fence wire across the face opening on his helmet. He was lifted off the bike flipped upside down and landed on his face. Two scrapes and a flooded engine was the final score. So we had to ride together for a bit. He actually crashed again on the rough dirt and when I caught up with him (two pictures above) I asked, "What did ya hit?" As in what part of your body was hurt. Gabe's reply, "The ground."
We went out to the far reaches of the pasture to the stream to explore. I wanted to try and cross the muddy stream but Gabe thought the mud was to deep.........later on I discovered Gabe was right. And after the "Hike of Shame" back to the house, I humbly admitted my blunder to a round of laughter; Cheryl, Gabe and Scott.
We had to go get Papa Scott and his handy 6-wheeler to pull me out.
I guess it pays to listen to the little ones when they REALLY know what they are talking about. I didn;t go over the handle bars but the stop was instant and the mud was indeed to deep, thick and gooey for my machine. It was still a really fun time and the bike still ran great.
