In our August / September issue we showed you how anyone can get into Off-Road for the small sum of $1500.00 we bought a bike and gear. From AXO we bought a helmet, boots, gloves, jersey, and pants. We also purchased a ramp, gas can, tie-downs and an owner’s manual on what seems an impossibly small budget in today’s motorcycle market. If you did the same thing, you have had enough time to decide if you like riding or not. If you are anything like us, you don’t just like riding, you’re hooked. Click HERE for the original story

At your local riding area you probably met some other guys who are riding at or around your level and you’ve got a small group of riding buddies that plans to meet at the track /riding area every available weekend or weekday if you are one of the lucky ones. These friendships have a way of growing, you might have hung out with one or two of them away from the riding. Most dirt bike people are very friendly and enjoy hanging around like-minded people.

Talking motorcycles is just as important as riding them, more so to some. Be careful not to get cornered by one at your local dealer! It is also likely you have met or will meet someone who is more proficient with a wrench than you, someone who can give you a hand in the mechanical dept once in a while. (We love working on bikes and are always willing to give a hand) Hopefully you have done some tinkering on your bike. Perhaps you followed one of our Tech Tips articles and sorted out your chain slack adjustment or serviced your fork.
