Dirt bike recommendations?

The Bark Busters are pointing about the right angle from memory, Has Renthal bars as well

Yes. Tomorrow's thread is "so I just crashed my dirt bike".

Just joking.... I hope....

It is customary to crash your dirt bike at least once a ride. I have been sticking with this tradition.

But no worry you just pick em up and ride away.

You will learn new words like "roost" and "spooge".

Spooge is more for us 2 stroke riders, we squirt blue smoke at you 4 stroke riders in order to feel more important and pure.

Then the thing gets up on the pipe and we fly into a tree.

I now have mental images of riders suddenly flying off the trail into the nearest obstacle.

See you're learning already

I'm not entirely sure what you mean, maybe I can take a pic when I get it and you can tell me?

Barkbusters are level with the ground.



Barkbusters pointing sightly down.

But leathel said they are fine so no worry's.


Sorry mods don't know how to thumbnail pics

[bosslady]

So, you've never owned a dirt bike?

Only once? crap sounds like I'm overdoing it a bit then

[tnarg]

That's why they invented barkbusters.

My tip was for those that don't use bark busters. I was never a fan of them.

Just picked up my gear got most things except for armour. Helmet, goggles, gloves, jersey, pants, boots, about $540. Feel sick spending all this money, lol.

Nope... I own a dirty bike, but the sight of mud/sand and it's penchant for being a pig is noticeable when it rolls over.

Yes it a hit on the money side of things but its gear you fit first up....unlike trying to get cheaper stuff of TM and the likes and you spend money....but you are not happy so you spend more....then you end up spending the same and still might not be happy

This way you have gear that fits ....

And its only money, the fun you can have far outweighs the money spent, you can't put a price on enjoying life!

The older you get the more you realize this

you work to live not live to work.... I still struggle with this concept as I work far to much....
