Dual Sport
 
Well hell, I'll get this one started.

My other ride is a DRZ400 dual sport, though I'm still trying to figure out how to mount a trunk, it's a fun weekender. Heading down to Arkansas for my first major trail riding the first week of April. My only goal....no broken bones.

Anyone else around here like to play in the mud :diitb:

I've got an 06 KTM 250 SXF and 01 YZF426 bored out to a 444. I grew up racing dirt bikes. I don't ride that hard anymore, I just like doing it for the fun/exercise now. It's a hell of a lot easier to get seriously injured on a dirt bike than it is on a road course.

All depends on what you run into.

ya, i now know why they don't design road courses with trees on them

I don't know what road courses you're doing, but the ones I'm on don't have cliffs, gravel, and trees.

I hear ya, that why I have the FZ6 also. The DRZ does not like straight line on pavement, haha

I've been a sport bike rider for years, and just last year got a couple small dual sports to run around on. I have as much fun on them as I do the sport bikes. I only wish there were some good riding areas around here; even some nice long dirt roads would do!
