I have been riding dirt bikes for holy %%$#@ 26 years ;) .Best bike I've had was a brand new honda XR200R in 86 .My current ride do to money , van and family is a 1976 175 Yamaha Trials bike .Soon I'm going to get my girls going on a friends Keystone minibike. Got more trails,gravel pits and logging roads than I can count. Currently waiting for me to get motor back in van [4 weeks] seeing as how thats how I haul my bike and kids around . About 4 or 5 other guys I going riding with. :lol:
Would like to hand down trials to wife so I can buy a larger , newer Yamaha 4 stroke . But just bought a used canoe . Way to many things on the go .
What are you riding and where?
-
I 've ridden/raced MX off and on since I was approx. 7 or 8, so that makes approx. 17 years of experience (you do the math on my age :D ) Right now I'm in the \"off\" stage due to the fact that some a$$h@le stole my KX 250 awhile back. I love doing it, but it's another expensive/time consuming hobby that keeps me from my VW's. I'm hoping to get back into it when my 56 is completed. :rockon:

I'm into vintage bikes . (as in , I've had them so damn long they are really old now)
1975 honda 3 wheel atc 90, 1979 RM 125 :mullet: :rockon:
I start them up about once every 1.5 years :huh:

i have an old school 79 klx250 (kawi's 4 stroke version of the kdx) that i usually ride in the 100 mile house area, but i also just got me self a 93 cbr600 (didn't wanna go to crazy for the first street bike) and have been having a blast on that :D

I ride a .02 Sherco 2.9. I ride with the Alberta Trials Riders Association. We have competitions all over Alberta, about once a month.

dam you trials guys are insane man!! crazy crazy crazy. looks like fun though. I currently have a 01' YZ250. I figure the 2 strokes are soon to be outlawed here in the states and i might as well get one. We are down to 1 legal riding area (public land) that is in mt. vernon now. It really sucks that the greenies cannot share all the land that the states have to offer. greedy fuggers! I was hopin some guys across the border had some places to ride that arent too far away...would love to go riding with someone!
-
There are tonnes of places up here to ride, a few that come to mind are Harrison Lake (west side), Chilliwack lake etc... thousands of trails/logging roads.
