hello all. ditched street and moved to dirt

Welcome to the party!

Don't leave the street, it's still the best way to get where you're going. Of course, getting dirty is a lot more fun.

i would ride street, but my parents won't buy me a crotch rocket ; ; Oh well dirts just as fun.

I find myself spending more time on my dirt bike than my street bike these days. But I won't give up either. Fortunately, it isn't parents that I have to worry about, it's the wife, but she bought me my KX250.
If it helps, the FZ6 (and several similar bikes) isn't a crotch rocket, it falls under the JSM category, and is probably better suited for someone in the age range that needs parental permission. Actually, the Ninja 250 would probably be the best choice for a beginning street rider under 20. To aid the argument, 70 mpg est. with a top speed around 80mph. A buddy of mine recently bought one as his first bike, and I was surprised by the power it has.

Welcome to the site :cool:

Be sure and go to your User CP and update information relating to your location, type of riding, etc. After that grab a spot on the couch.

We have a fair size group in central Florida. Check out the Southern Spodes forum for opportunities to hook up with fellow DRNers. Kick some bootie in there and get some rides going.

Again, welcome to the site and shout if you have any questions!
