What do dirtbike riders do?

**kezzafish** · 18th September 2008, 21:25

Just wondering what jobs/ what type of people ride? are we all tradespeople? do many of us work in the industry (bikeshops etc) how many desk riders ride dirt. I'm a printer and like all things mechanical. Was into cars and rallying (the family past time) until i wanted to start racing myself and realised the expense. Dirt bikes are much cheaper than most other motorsports, you can go when and where ever you want (don't have to wait for track days or pay entry fees etc) this is why i started riding. oh yeah and it's fukken fun.

So why do you ride? what's your story (it's kinda like an online AA meeting)

Digital printer myself. Running a Xerox iGen3. I spend more time maintaining it than printing with it.
