The best way to spend Christmas

[Olof Eriksson]

I got the greatest gift of them all, to be able to ride a motorcycle on christmas eve ;) On top of that my sis and dad followed me to document it! :thumbup:

I got to borrow my friends 125cc and put my old spike tires (finndubb) on it. I have very little experience with 125's so its a little hard to stay in the power band...

All thats left now is to open the presents :D

edit.....then i read the sig

Thanks for sharing - that looks like fun.
It also would be harder than you made it look. Impressive.
I'd be more like your dad, but would use the other foot, so I could still brake ;) (if I got enough courage up to even try lol). oops, watched it again & see he uses either foot.
What riding do you normally do or have you done? (speedway, mx?) - also saw you ride supermoto, but still curious if you've ridden speedway.
Way cool and merry xmas :)

Is your dad the rally driver?

Cool (and cold) pics huh!

Eerily reminiscent of the photos in EJ's "Bin Laden" thread. Maybe you need to mentor him in how to save it?

[EJK]

That act/ riding looks familiar...... lol

[TOTO]

Fantastic vid man , Your dad is a cool guy for giving it a go too. Love it. Do you have spikes on both tyres or just the back (newbie question time) :niceone:

Didnt know that there was a rally wc before I posted the vid ;D You're not the first one to ask! No he is not, he's just dad ;)

I actually started riding tracks in 2004 and it was supermoto, last year I started riding motocross. This is one of very few times I've driven a 125cc :)

Yes it is spikes on both tires, you cant even accelerate on ice without any spikes!

You're right, that is possibly the best Xmas pressy I could think of after watching that movie and getting extreemly envious!

Good stuff!
