Hello everyone!

Andrew123 · Jan 20, 2012

Hello. My name is Andrew (obviously) and well, I like to ride dirt bikes. Oh, and the 123 isn't random, it's my racing number

. I started racing when I was 5, and had to stop due to financial issues when I was about 11. I started out on a Yamaha PW, moved on to a KTM 50 Jr, then a Sr. Eventually I got a KTM 65 SX and then a Honda 85 SX. I'm currently 15, and would love nothing more than to get a 125 and start again. I'm from Michigan, and used to ride at Log Road, Dutch Sport Park, and Red Bud. That's about it

Andrew123:
That's awesome! Where do you race now? Do you still go to Log Road, Dutch, and Red Bud? I haven't really talked to you since me and Gerico Johnson still rode (I'm Andrew Bumpus btw)

You stopped riding? BTW any relation to Brandon Bumpus?

James:

Yeah. I didn't want to, but we had financial problems and couldn't afford it anymore. It sucks too, because riding was basically my life. I would love to get back into it. And no, I don't think I'm related to a Brandon. Lol

Yeah riding isn't cheap, especially with the possibility of medical bills on top.

Andrew123:

Lol Figured I'd ask, I've ridden with a Brandon Bumpus and since that last name isn't that "popular", plus you aren't that far away.... :noidea:

James · Jan 20, 2012

Welcome Andrew. :cheers:

Are your parents back under better financial footing so that you might be able to ride again? Or better yet, you have a job?

Haha it seems to be popular around where I live. There's actually another family with the same last name that I have no relation to. :noidea:

Must be a southern Michigan thing

Hmmm, I'd never heard it before. What part of Michigan are you in?

FYI I moved these posts over into your welcome thread so that we don't hijack Jarred's thread. :lol:

Hillsdale County. And that's good, it's just rude to take over a thread about an injured person.
And about me having a job, I would love to. I want to wait until I can handle school a bit better before I get a job (I struggle in math, other than that I'm a A and B student). Plus, it'll be easier once I can drive.

CDA JR:
welcome

Thank you

Ahh so Logroad is practically in your backyard. :ride:

I'm a master at hijacking threads, but that's a line I try not to cross.

I can relate, however it was science/chem for me. :bonk:

I was so confused as to why you had 3 consecutive posts, I was like woah James settle down there buddy. :lol:

Yup

I tend to do it on accident a lot. I'll say one thing and all of a sudden it turns in to this long, unrelated conversation :noidea:

James:

Understandable. :confused:

<--- That's what I look like in Algebra 2. Lol

Thanks! I'm really hoping to start again. When you live half of your life on the dirt, it's hard to suddenly stop. D:

Hey Andrew, glad to have you around

Put your boots up and stay a spell. :cheers:

Take a look around and check out all the features - once you get to know how to use them all, perhaps you can send me a message with a how-to.... :lol:
