[QUOTE="BunduBasher, post: 630606, member: 17314"] Posts like this bring a smile to my face. :) My first thought is "Are you nuts" :p - As you are a big guy, you probably would do fine on a 250, I would suggest you try out a few bikes if you can, get a feel for the bike, the sport, the requirements - racing is hard work, tiring work, and also very dangerous, especially if you are tired or inexperienced. 250's have a better life span than 125's so if you can find a good used bike which fits you - any color will do. Now you may find this funny, but try find someone like yourself, someone new to the sport who may wish to sell their gear, bike etc - you may be able to pick up some bargains. Most importantly - get the safety gear, all of it, or as much of it as you can - just getting a helmet, and riding in jeans and shirt with hiking boots is not the way to go. the better protected you are, the better chance you have of surviving a crash. Also, don't write of hare scrambles, enduro racing, or just plain trail riding - all offer a great dirt biking experience - you may find your forte' in hare scrambles or cross country racing Good luck, and welcome to the club. :thumb: [/QUOTE]
