Hey everyone. I've been riding on the street/track for a while and several of my buds are trying to get me to get a dirt bike. I'll be honest, I don't know the first thing about dirt riding, although I hear riding on the dirt will build your skills alot faster than strictly street riding. So, now I'm considering getting a dirt setup.
First off, I'd rather not deal with the hassles of a 2 stroke, where can I find a cheaper 4 stroke (used is fine)? How can I tell the difference between a 2 and a 4 stroke (like, of the major mfr's, what is their 2 stroke line and what's their 4 stroke line?). What's the most hassle free maker?
What gear do I need? Helmet, jersey and pants, gloves, boots, and...chest protector? Anything else? What are some of the better brands to stick with? Do I want a jersey or a jacket?
Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
