You'll never look back also do you like animals? I like to breed and sell scorpions and spiders, the ones I sell fund more and creating environments and tank set ups is great fun to me.

KTM, Honda, Yamaha??I know when I was riding 10 years ago Yamanah produced awesome bikes but I dont know a great deal these days. Going shopping Saturday starting at Peter Stevens who do the KTMs.. Are there things I should be looking for or does it just come down to preference??Thanks again guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle!

Smashed knee, buggered shoulder, broken fingers, the list went on and on.I would suggest a PeeWee 50cc and only ride on sand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercuryturbo Oh look.... a real car, with no hair dryer Donating Members 1,724 Member For: 18y 3m 14d Gender: Male Location: Fear and Loathing in Callala Bay Posted 01/04/10 03:14 AM Share Posted 01/04/10 03:14 AM Yeah, go the DR400 Or KLX 400, both are plenty fast enough for poking around the trails & are pretty low maintence compared to an MXer.As for crashing, sure it will happen, the injuries just depend on how lucky you are. I've been riding on dirt for about 15 years & have had some pretty spectactular high speed crashes but I've never broken a bone, yet some mates of mine have had pathetic low speed crashes & have ended up with busted shoulders, collar bones etc,Luck of the draw I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest XR09 Guests Posted 01/04/10 04:34 AM Share Posted 01/04/10 04:34 AM If you budget in good riding gear you will be fine. You will cop bumps,limps and bruises. But no worse than playing footy.Ive broken lots, but you get use to it. It all depends on how fast you want to go, and how fast your fitness and ability will let you.Dianeze make a great all in one body armor for your upper half, knee braces and good boots for your lower. Don't skim on your helmet either. The foam craps out early in the cheap ones. If you are worried about getting too hurt, then have a look at mountain biking. A great way to keep in shape with fairly decent thrills. And more places to ride that are usually more convenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frl0173 Member 31 Member For: 14y 9m 9d Posted 01/04/10 10:16 AM Share Posted 01/04/10 10:16 AM Have you thought about getting a track bike and doing ride days? You can pick up couple of year old 2nd hand track bike for the cost of a decent dirt bike and they are loads of fun, you don't need to get a bike lic you can get a MA lic for track days and racing if you get right into it.He is a pic from last weekend at Wakefield Park A couple of mates had there first ever race and came 1st and 3rd in class.
