[QUOTE="woodsy, post: 703517, member: 27856"] You know, I had a 1969 Honda SL350 (nick named the USS TANK) back in "the days" (I was 5' 6" and weighed 110 lbs at the time - seriously) that I thought was an AWESOME D/S bike - UNTIL, George Boston (owns Boston Motors in Muskegon) went trail riding with me one day on his Yamaha 350 twin street bike. He would FLY on that puppy in the tight stuff!! The only place I had a real advantage was in behind Mount Garfield (yea, we used to climb the back side of the National Hill Climb hill!!) hill climbing - and that was due to tires (I ran those AWESOME Chin Cheng 760's)!! You made my point EXACTLY 2TRACKR, the "correct bike" idea is a misnomer, it should be stated "learn to use your bike correctly"... This next pic is 1964, I am on my "Allstate Dirt Bike" during the Old Fashion days Parade in Fruitport - littel brother in tow.. I still have this old girl's frame in my collection!! I during later 60's the authorities would hold the Parade up for me so I could ride wheelies down mainstreet on my SL350 for the parade watchers - can you imagine that nowadays!! A kid going 40/50 mph on the back whel of his bike with the road packed with people on both sides - sounds like a liability issue to the MAX dont it!~! [/QUOTE]
