McKenzie Madness

One mean motorcycle riding machine!

Caleb "Rooster" Lewis - no longer called rooster because he gets up at the crack, but now called rooster because of those "rooster tails" he kicks up behind the dirt bike!

Over the 4th we had a GREAT Saturday out at Lake McKenzie riding ATV's and dirtbikes with Uncle Iz, Caleb, myself and my friend Danny Hooks. Since Danny is a professional moto-cross racer, I was a bit nervous that he was our tour guide, but he was a great host and it's always good to have the designer of the course to show you around!


Iz did an incredible job of posing as a well-experienced ATV rider. It wasn't until he nearly tipped over backwards and screamed like a little girl that I realized he was a little out of his element. :) Seriously, he was incredible and Caleb only jumped off in fear a couple of times. ;}



Taking a rest - Danny (in white T-shirt) showed us lots of cool places and gave Iz and Caleb a great FIRST ride. They were tag-teaming on the Polaris 350 while Danny rode his racing Kawasaki and I brought up the rear on Moose (my Honda 200).



Here's the Lewis boys giving her *ell at the river crossing. Iz rared back, juiced the throttle and shot across like a crotch rocket. Not bad at all for a boy from East Texas!


Caleb and Iz had an absolute blast riding the ATV. I had a ball riding Moose. And I'm pretty sure Danny got lots of chuckles at us 'green' riders as we learned the tricks of the trade.
I can't wait to go back!
