Yeah, they're cool, but it takes some getting used to sitting high and upright like that on the street. Plus the tires aren't as dirt friendly.

I rode dirt when I was a kid... never was much of a rider though... much better on the street...

I'd like to get back into it though... I know of a cash money riding spot in OH... been going there since I was an infant... Just traded dirtbikes for jet skiis when I was like 12...

My next bike will be an SM most likely... would be nice to get an extra set of wheels, tires, and brakes to get dirty with...

everyone is talking about how quick a streetbike is and but jump on a 420cc twostroke quad pushing 70+ hp on a 300# package , that'll make you wish for a greater life insurance policy fast

I haven't done much dirt riding, but would love to get a couple bikes, one for me, and a little fifty for my daughter when she gets bigger. Need a good place to ride, but tough to find legal places around here.

just get a snowmachine... 4x4 is useless in all that snow... and you can ride the snow machine on the mud... seen it done... works better on water though

Iv'e got a CRF150 that I ride when I can - but I suck at dirt and don't have a lot of time to drive all the way to the "local" dirt areas and then all the way home (2 ro so hours each way)
