You ever had the pants leg of your boot cut jeans slide over the kick starter of your DT-1 or XL-350 and fall over at the stop sign when you couldn't get your foot off the peg.

You removed the paint on your cylinders to keep ur motor cooler- when really it it just looked rad and everyone else was doing it

U snapped on your face mask to ur helmet or even snapped one on to your scott goggles

U had DG stickers everywhere
