[almaj2006]

Hello,
I'm 15 about to turn 16 and want to get into the sport. I'll have about 5 grand to spend on my first bike. What are your suggestions to get? I want something easy to drive and something that won't over power me. BTW im about 5'5 and 175 pounds.
Thanks,
AJ
PS: Whats a good track in VA that newbie freindly?

I decided on a bike. I want a Yamaha YZ125. I still want your opinions tho.

I decided to get the Crf230. Also whats a good trailer for a 1997 ford explorer. I only need a single trailer. Also are they other dirt bike forums with more everyday actvitiy.
