Trailriding... Camping, Beverages, Bonfire Conversations, Comradery, good friends... I still wheel with most of the same crowd I got started with, we have all come a long way and have stuck together for almost a decade at this point. Been fortunate enough to add a lot of names to that list and made alot of great friends along the way.
I like racing, and would love to get into it if I had the money, but for now Ill just enjoy it from the sidelines.
As Jason said, Ive spent a lot of money on things I regret, wheeling has never been one of them.
