I used to race dirt bikes. I gave it up a couple years ago dues to a nasty crash and my old age.

I've thought about selling mine but I forget how much fun it is when I go to the trails.

Yeah just look around. Theres nothing like riding a long, winding trail. One of the trails at the riding park here can easily take 30+ minutes to go through unless you haul like we do I want to get a helmet cam and get some video when I ride it.

It was funny ...I put that 3 wheeler ad in the bike trader and had about 20+ calls in the first 2 days .....the guys were fighting over who would pay the most.

I got the fiddy, but it's not much for dirt. I really want to get a big one after riding a buddy's 230, but that will have to wait til next year at least. Too much being spent on a house and wedding.

I have been tossing around the idea of getting a dualsport recently. I think it would be cool to have one.
