I had a CR125 that I highsided on pavement, bike got into the air and bounced a few times pieces while I came down in a ditch. After I got it back together I was riding trails and slid the rear tire into a tree stump that sent it and me end over end. It's like that bike didn't want to stay on the ground. I think riding on dirt teaches you a lot of things that... you wouldn't want to try and learn on the street. Wayne, once you get into riding more, go check out these guys: Supermoto | Adams MotorSports Park I don't see it on their website, but I am pretty sure they still offer a supermoto class; they'll give you a bike, you bring the gear, and you go at it. Stupid fun, and not a bad price for track time.

Count me in the club that suggests picking up a affordable modern era bike to learn on. Handling, brakes and suspension have come a long way and do contribute to rider safety.

Good for you Wayne ! Now if your gonna get a "hack".. ya might want to consider an Earls fork for the front end, stock has too much rake for proper control & turning on three wheels. Riding with a hack is a whole new world than two wheeling. Best of luck, your gonna enjoy it.

You guys are making way too much out of kicking over an old Knuck. Don't try to scare poor old Wayne; you can start those things with your hand if everything is right. Very low compression, very relaxed valve timing, and an ignition that can be retarded for starting - nothing at all to fear.

That said: the 65 pan is the perfect and most sought after "vintage" rider Harley. It's got all then scents and sounds of the really early bikes but are a 1 year only electric start. Rare and expensive but worth it. I'd like one if I ever get interested in 2'wheels again. |
