Just bought my first dirt bike. I told myself if I ever moved back to Utah I would have to get a dual sport. I've ridden street for 10 years now with the occasional track day. I grew up on a mt. bike so figured a dual sport would be a sweet mix of the two. Found this at The Edge and bought it.

The po did tons of work to this thing. It's crazy. has more power than my street bike. It's awesome on the street but I'm quite apprehensive in the dirt. I went out to 5 mile a few weeks ago and poked around a bit. It was muddy and the rear tire desperately needs a change. It was a blast though! cruised down the pony express a ways and wondered around. so fun!
When the weather warms up I hope to get some more practice handling this thing. I live at the base of AF canyon so that might happen often. Not the best trail bike, I know, but I want to get out and do some trips and longer rides.
Looking forward to riding with some of you guys and getting my butt kicked...and maybe learning a few things along the way.
