THE YEAR I TRY A DUAL-SPORT
Yes, many of our friends have dual-sport dirt bikes, and I’d like to try one, or buy a “beginner” bike and try it out. Maybe I’ll like it, and maybe I won’t, but

GB: Right after I took this picture I took the towel off the dashboard and started the motor to see if it would go. Cranked a few times and started up. Once the bike moves you forget the tallness. Lots of cool bikes out there and hard to go wrong. KTMs are popular. We went on a ride a while back and a lightweight man had a 250 which was OK until we hit 101 and then it was a struggle.
