[QUOTE="oldturtle, post: 976431, member: 63556"] I am 65 and have been riding dirt steady since 1970 with my first bike a Yamaha 360 RT-1. I have nearly always had two or more dirt bikes, one for dirt and one street legal for dual sport. I have owned about 20 different dirt/dual sport bikes over the years plus many purchased and maintained for kids and grandkids. When I first started I got seriously hooked and was out every chance I had. I rode AMA Dist 36 and Dist 37 enduros all up and down Calif until about 1980 and then just got burned out. I got into road riding and then discovered how much fun dual sport riding could be. In order to keep this up you need to take care of the old bod. And you need to get out and ride often even when you have doubts about if you really want to or not. Once you get going you realize again that this is your life and you need the stimulation/adrenaline fix. I have been fairly injury free other than several episodes of broken ribs and minor dislocations up until Dec 03 when I bailed hard on a KTM 250EXC and shattered the tibia plateau and tibia in several locations. This was a rough one. Surgery with plates and screws, physical therapy, many months on crutches, back on road bike after 6 months, back on dirt bike after 9 months, got rid of KTM and stuck with KDX and XRs, second surgery 3 weeks ago to remove hardware and tune up miniscus and assorted cartledge. Back on road bikes this weekend and planning to get out on the KDX with daughter and grandkids in a few more weeks. [/QUOTE]
