I'm over 50 never had a dirt bike, had tons of road bikes and road race bikes, my mates like to go dirtybike riding and I figured I could be missing something here. Bought an 07 TTR250 and went for my first trail ride on Sunday.
Its pretty good fun , maybe I needed to start 30 years ago, but never mind I under way now.
We went to a designed trail wasn't really what I was expecting, way harder fell off a couple of times covered about 50KM over about 3 hours, my friend made a video and edited a few bits following me , he makes it look easy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvQwe5539D4&feature=youtu.be
I'm happy with my bike , need to get some bark busters and maybe firm up the suspension a bit, I swapped bikes with a 14 yr old with a CRF230 was way different to the ttr , liked both of them really.
Before this ride I rode round the paddock at the back of the house so was a bit of a baptism by fire, great fun!
