Now I don't feel so bad about the audio on my videos lol...

I'm jealous of your back yard. A couple years ago I took I-75 from Knoxville to Indianapolis. I kept seeing little side roads going off into the woods. Your place is what I hoped would have been out there. That whole region is beautiful.

I recently had a taste of what it feels like to lose traction (once during a left turn at an intersection when I could feel the back tire starting to come around just a bit under acceleration on some slippery pavement and again hitting a small patch of sand around a very slow (15mph or so) right bend where I felt the front lose/regain traction just as the rear lost/regained traction). I found it to be fun. Now I want to get a dirt bike or dual sport so I can practice sliding the back around a bit more in a slower paced/no traffic environment on some off road trails like that.
