Road or Dirt?

[Fryin Finn]

I started on dirt bikes - got a road bike - got injured, gave up dirt bikes - got old, got back on dirt bikes - still have road bikes but love riding offroad.

Started out on the road. Then went into a bit of gravel and dirt and some challenging terrain. Now I like my comforts and have chosen roads.

My problem is I have a tendancy to try and enjoy both on the same ride. I need that magical Triumph Tom Cruise had in MI1 that suddenly spawned knobblies when he went sans tarmac!

I like both.

Argh, who resurrected my old thread?

Played around on the dirt when I had my TS125, also had a blat on a mate's MT50 (fun because they're so light) - nothing serious, but a lot of great fun.

Love road machines too. One of the few things I like about Auckland is the motorway - you can have serious enjoyment riding a bike on that!

Which do I prefer? A nice long ride on the open road or a scrambling blat in the dirt? They both have their place and time. Wish I'd never sold the old TS - it's probably still running.

Used to race MX but think I'll stay on road now and leave the mud for people who actualy have a clue what thay are doing!
Still limp when its cold...
