yea, on the trails, I passed some hikers and whatnot and they all waived at me. Stopped for some pics ans was talking to some guys and they said that they didn't like "dirt bikes" out there cuse they were loud and came screaming by them. This thing is super quite and polite and I think I/and the bikeleft a positive impression on them.

 

I always try to keep it down when people are around. But my bike is not very quiet.

 

A Yami??? Get off the forum!!!

LOL JK, show some pics of that beeotch

 

Sounds like a nice bike for sure. I sometimes miss dirt riding since I did it all my life. Dirt bikes are more like toys then street bikes to me. Ijust picked up a little 2005 Honda CRF50F to stunt on and put around the yeard.

Post up some pix of the new toy.

I am a Honda bike freak, but they do cost more then the other top brands.

 

Nice!!! So what, CBRCRF is the only one who rides dirt around here? Where's idodirt? Northernfirepower? NYErion929... ME!!! [8D]

I'm telling ya man, lots of fun and insurance for the yearis literally about the cost of a whole days work (some of you guys might be a half day). Sounds like fun man - the only thing I would tell you, being new to the dirt scene - is to ride that bike on the streets as little as possible or invest in some hard compound tires.

The street tiresdo very little in the way if trail riding, but it will get you through wherever you're going - maybe a little slow, lol. Anyway, yeah being your first rear knobby those ***** will look HUGE to you when in actuality they wear pretty quickly with paved riding.

Have some fun man and give us some pics, wouldya? It's raining here today, I'm thinking about taking the XR for some wet street riding - see if I can slide that bitch a lil' easier...

Congrats on the new bike - just like a 20" bmx man, lots of fun.

Actually, one thing - when you're going down a big hill (on the streets) stand up and lean forward on the bars - you know, like you used to do as a kid on your bmx? It feels awesome and man I gotta tell ya, it's pretty cool doing it all over again as a big kid. My dirt bike brought out the kid in me again, BIG TIME.

Remember: In the trails Target Fixation is still very possible - look where you want to go or you'll go where you look!

 

HAHA!! I thinks its the fact that he lives right across the water from me and we have yet to ride together.

Stupid rain!

 

Dude the rain is fun with knobbies. Lots of fun, but I'm guessing it's not too warm there and the rain is prolly a tad on the chilly side, eh?

Come to Missouri. Yeah, that's what you wanna do. Actually, there is a bad *** ORV park near St. Louis, St. Joe State Park. 2000 acres and everything you could want to ride, dunes, trails, moto-x, creek beds, monster hills...

But I'm guessing you guys got something pretty gnarly up in dose parts... ?

 

There are two ORV parks within a hour of me and a couple a little further. The two close ones can get very technical. Rocks, mud, boulders, stumps, trees, steep *** hills with ruts and roots. All in one trail!
One problem for me around here is that sometimes I just want some plain old dirt to ride. Most of the trails around here are pretty rocky. The logging roads can be fun because you can get them wide open drifting corners.
We have two sets of dunes just over the mountains that are a blast. And then Oregon dunes is just down the coast.

 

I hope to get a dual sport some day. They've always looked cool and fun to me. The one you got is nice lookin to bro. Have fun man, be safe!

 

Congrats Troop! At first, when I read the title, I though you traded your Honda for a Yamaha street bike and wondered why you would want to be so uncomfortable. Dirt bike eh...that is right up your alley, bro! Have fun.
