I'm thinking of getting into dirt. What bike?

So despite my advice, you bought a 450 and now you want a 250 2t? You're not right in the head...

...and I absolutely mean that as a compliment!

Fuck it go the whole hog

Lol...I have been accused of that several times for various "hobbies" that I engage in.

Not a bad line up! My problem at the moment is garage space. I can only fit my car and 1 bike at the moment. In fact, due to having company stock sitting in my garage at the moment, the KX450 is living outside this weekend. Going to set up an area inside my offices warehouse and the bikes can live there I think.

The first question you must ask is what the fuck is a car doing taken up bike space?

I love my cage as much as I love the bikes I have owned/still own.

Like Crasher says, time to move them indoors until a larger garage can be found.

Fuck yeah!

Well, time hasn't allowed me much opportunity to ride the KX450F much at all ( like...twice). But got out today around some of the local hills etc. Noticed 2 things:

1) climbing a steep muddy track is a LOT harder than I thought it would be. dropped it twice at very slow speed and stalled it probably 3 times.

2) climbing a steep grass hill with the back wheel spinning and still wheelieing all the way up is a lot of fun

Yep. I ride in sand a lot...so they're the only choice for me other than a 500cc two stroke.

Nutter .......

Nutter .......

Thanks! I know this guy that owns a near 200hp road bike...

Nothing wrong with being a nutter

[Jay GTI]

Nah there's nothing nutter about riding a 450 or 500 2T in the sand, they make it easier. Riding a 125 in deep sand, now that is hard work....

Update: Bought a 2012 KTM 350SXF today, just got back from Woodhill. A perfect balance in what I am looking for - great handling with manageable power. Onwards and upwards.
