Dirt bike recommendations?

Well spotted!
Kick start it easy though..... Just need a few sockets, some asbestos gloves for the hot exhaust and hearing protection for when she fires.
Something about form over function?

Yep, especially if the original Grasstracker photo is factory correct and the kickstart is a retro-fit....

In pic 4 the seat height looks dangerously low to the sand.

Almost looks like a motor scraper, behind the front wheel , drop from a wheel stand and dig up the sand

But they are fun....

Compromise if you want to go fast but they are handy around town, high and narrow.... another set of rims and tyres and they will do dirt/ adventure rides well

Long runs at faster pace you can cop the wind but I have seen a few we screens that are supposed to work well....... but they can be very hit and miss

I loved my XR600 when I had it, a second set of rims was a must though as was a second front sprocket to drop the dirt gearing but in my case it was dual purpose tyres and full mud tyres.

This is what happened when I didn't have a great front tyre for the road (didn't have a second front then) and left the dirt rear on...... oh and it probably didn't help I only had a couple of hours sleep and was still ...... well not sober

Looks painful, how did the rider come out of the crash? Having also binned an XR600, it's amazing how heavy they become when you realise things are about to go very wrong.

Thankfully I had gear on...not great gear but enough, plastic MX style kneed pads under my Jeans, MX gloves and leather jacket, wore through the pads and gloves, not a mark on my knees but one finger had a good graize, nasty bruise/graize on my hip when my crossed the center curbing and the jacket rode up.... Concussion was the freaky bit, everything went black and white... so lucky nothing was coming the other way!!!!!

Crossing the white line on those tyres and giving it a first full isn't a good idea....especially if you are a bit slow on the reflexes from remnants of the night before ... was going backwards before I started to correct

I took the bike to "wake me up" but its wasn't the wake up I was looking for

but it was a wake up call to not be so fukn stupid next time, half pissed tired and dirt tyres were never going to be a good mix !!

Jesus, you got away very lightly considering!

But yeah sounds like one of those times you say to yourself afterwards,

"Righto buddy, you got lucky this time so listen up, you're going to fecking learn from this one, right?".

Stop comparing yourself to boys - they are mental

Ahem! I prefer to think of it as "alternatively wired"
