Larry the bummper looks awesome buddy, I know your glad to be done with that tuppaware bumper. I too wish I could get rid of the rest of that damn plastic along the back end. The Scorpion is one Bad A$$ machine my friend, can't wait to hit the trails in Ouray with you.
I can’t agree more Larry with your sediments about why and how you feel about offroading. I myself feel the exact same way, as I know others here too feel. You sparked me in to thinking deeply about why I too am drawn to the outdoors so strongly.
The new and exciting places that are seen, the spectacular views, the friendships that are forged like a blacksmiths fire and anvil that are used when pounding out the glowing steel of a fine sword. These are the types of emotions and feelings that course through your veins while lying awake under the stars.
The challenges of the trail that push man & machine, sometimes the cost is a small amount of blood and sweat that is expired to gain access to these types of adventures, knowing it’s a small price to pay for admission to the great outdoors.
The feeling at the day’s end of an accomplishment that few are able to experience as they trudge through their bland existence in a concrete world that surrounds them, never knowing the true excitement of pushing not only yourself, but your machine in the wilderness in the open fresh air, taking in the majestic views that they only can be seen by being there.
The kindred spirits of the night, that lay awake under the stars daydreaming of the fulfillment of the days adventure and the next adventure to come at first light. The companies of individuals and friendships that are found while sitting around the nights camp fire, gazing into the glowing embers daydreaming of these types of adventures become bound and forged like a link of strong steel chain.
This is what motivates me everyday, the few kindred spirits that are found here on this forum everyday, It’s like sitting at King Arthur’s Round Table laughing and discussing the next adventure to be had, the next conquest to be undertaken. I’m sorry, I sometimes feel like an old warrior of a different age. I think this is what always draws me to the outdoors, these types of feelings and emotions. The camaraderie and scenery is what makes life worth living.
I sometimes get alittle carried away after reading my friends writing. :cowsmile:
