[QUOTE="Spiritbeast, post: 1198233, member: 77987"] Hey guys... I'm a complete newbie at dirtbikes, heck even at any outdoor sports or such even. To be honest, I'm just the kind of guy who spends most of his time inside on the computer and such, but I'd like to change that and find something to do this summer thats a little more... exciting. When I was younger, I would ride on the back of my neighbor's quad, and loved it. Now I'm older, and want to have something to drive of my own, and that would be a dirt bike (not a quad, probably because my brother loves his motorcycle so much and it seems cool). I'm not on a very high budget.. I'll say I'm looking for a "starter bike". Anyway, time for that description: 1) your physical size (both height and weight are important) Er, small. I'm around 5'2 I think, but I'm a little bit bulky at around... 140 pounds. 2) How physical / aggressive are you ? I couldn't say too much to be honest. Doesn't mean I'm necessarily slow though. 3) what do you plan to ride- MX/SX tracks, woods, fields with friends or ????? My next door neighbor has 40 acres, and most of it has a grassy, dirtyish kinda path. 4) Do you have any riding experience? No. 5) Do you think you will race ? No. 6) Are you mechanically inclined and will you be doing your own bike work? Nah, but my dad and older brother can do some of that. 7) Do YOU have a preferance to a brand/ motor choice (2 or 4 stroke)? Huh? (Told I have no clue!) 8) Do you have a dealer close by your home that you might use and what brand(s) does he carry? Not that I know of. 9) How much ($) do you plan to spend on a bike? $500-800? (Leaning towards less.) 10) Do you live in California? Pennsylvania! 11) Your age? 15. (But... I haven't hit my growth spurt or such. I gotta have a bike I can grow a bit into.) Thank you for any replies. EDIT: What do you guys think about these generic "some assembly required" bikes? (I would post a link, but thats not allowed!) They seem cheap, but will do the job. That's all I need. I could be wrong though, but any input would help. [/QUOTE]
