I picked up this 2016 freeride up from a buddy that replaced it with a beta. Its been a long time since I have been on a full size dirtbikee lol.

Nice! I like it but before I get one of those, I'd have to buy a refurbished 1978 Yamaha DT-100. That was my first bike as a kid. A real motoX bike would be awesome but that little enduro would bring back memories.

Rook, this freeride is an enduro/trials hybrid. All bottom and mid power geared in the dirt. The last thing I need is a super fast moto-x bike. My property is real hilly and I wanted something to crawl around on. My first bike was a Honda SL125, I thought I was Bob Hannah lol.

Sweet ride, I added this a few months ago to ride with my son in-law and try to get my grandson interested. Don't let the first place fool you as I was in a class of one at the event. I still would have had a 3rd place podium position had I entered the 60+ class with 4 entries.

Outstanding

Fordtech, 2 stroke?

Both my girls express an interest in motorcycle riding. On the one hand, it makes me shudder, on the other, I'd love to teach them. The DT-100 was a great bike for me to learn on and I was about 60 lbs bigger than they are now even though I was 10 years younger than them. That bike fed into other experiences. I could drive a stick shift right away. I even was able drive big trucks pretty easily as a teenager all because I learned a little manual transmission. Now I want to know how everything works and that's a rich part of my life. This is a really wonderful, complex thing that will be gone in the next decades except for collector pieces. I'm pretty sure the trails I road as a kid are still there. I really should just go off and look for them even on foot.

Always been a 2 stroke addict at heart. Had this from new in 1984 until I sold my NH house in 2016. It went to a good friend and I still get to ride it whenever I go north!

That is AB-SO-LUTELY gorgeous Fordtech. That's the kind of thing that made me drool when I was a teenager in the 80s. Motorcycles with fairings, they were race bikes on the streets. That combined with the bike scenes from Mad Max, I was hooked. I always wanted one. Now I have a few. As for the two-strokes, my DT-100 was a snappy little bike. I'd love to experience a larger one.

Hey Daddyrabbit my first new bike was a 1972 SL 125 Honda that was crowned the "Turtle chaser of the year" by Dirtbike magazine at the time! I upped the anti this past Saturday with a second place finish among 5 riders in the 60+ class as that was the oldest age class they had.

Thats awesome,ile live vicariously through you!
