I think there is real value in coming out of dirt bikes and graduating to street bikes. The dirt teaches you things that you would have to die learning on the street, and allows you enough pain to remember the lesson.

I never crashed any of my own street bikes. I’ve owned a bunch of ‘em. Rode a GSX Suzuki to both coasts, and a XJR600 to the east coast, through Canada.

But, out in the dirt and on a few tracks, I’ve destroyed a bunch of stuff.

Just not me.

Best,
Ted

Don’t worry. There’s still time.

Wheezing? Pretty sure that is for Cub riders. From Detroit.

Never had the urge to go-pro anything, but Molly does a great job, with that and her drone:

Smart. Be pretty embarrassing having a record of you bending up one of the tracks bikes getting it off the side stand.

You riding there or taking the Olds?

As a rule of thumb, track bikes don’t have a side stand.
