Hello, I'm Andy from La Salle, Illinois. I was a moto junky growing up 1985-92. Joined the Air Force out of high school and soon riding got put on the back burner. Bought a Harley in 2000 and wasnt satisfied. Just bought a YZ 250 and feel re-born. The first ride was a rush!
There werent any forums in the early nineties so I relied on the old Dirt Rider magazine for all my info. This site is great!
Welcome AndyO. You will find a wealth of info at DRN. Use the search function and you will find lots of things that have been covered in depth. There are some great members in your general area so check out the Local Chapters Forums to hook up with these folks for some epic rides. Enjoy.
Forgot to mention I bought my daughter (on her 4th birthday) a TT-R50. I made here some training wheels. I think I enjoy teaching/watching her ride more than riding myself--if that makes sense.
Cool video Nikki! Seems like everywhere I rode as a kid is private property or I need to pay to ride.
