Anyone like to ride offroad?

I love to adventure ride. I like going on every kinda terrain possible. I like single track and desert the best. I have a street legal Honda XR650R and a non street legal Yamaha 250. I have taken the big dirt bike on 1200 mile trips. My goal is to ride Copper Canyon, Mexico. I have lost enough weight to regain my confidence on the dirt. I can ride much longer and harder. I can now handle jumping without feeling like my knees are going to buckle. I am just over 4 weeks out of surgery and I am still taking it pretty easy. I lost 25lbs already, down 45lbs from my fattest. I need 25 more lbs to get into the normal body fat range. You guys that do not ride dirt should give it a try. It has made me a better street rider, plus it is a very good workout.

I use to ride the deserts around Yuma, AZ. I had a Honda Thumper. That was a street legal/trail bike 350cc. I had a blast doing all that back when I was 30 years younger and 90 lbs lighter. I finally got to the point in my life where I could afford a nice touring bike. I've done about 30K miles in the last 5 years. Sturgis and Washington, D.C. I told my wife she didn't have to worry about anything, why would I want to kill myself now??? But more power to you, Pilate. Ride it like you stole it!

As a young boy thru my teen yrs I did a lot of dirt bike riding. As I grew older and started hunting more and more. Around here you need an ATV to get the the site of the hunt. My friends and I all have either a 3-wheeler or 4-wheeler bought under the thought it was a need for hunting.

Down here in Bayou country we have a plenty of places to ride in the mud. My friends and I try to make a day of riding and having fun usually during the "wet season". It has become a big yearly event now as all of my original group all have kids involed in it now.
