Nice bike. Get some experience riding
Dirt bikes are great for building endurance and getting reflexes dialed in ! Rip it and once you master it . Upgrade but that bike will keep you busy for a while |

Nick, update the slow one please...
You don't have your licence right? WILL you be getting it and then riding this on the street, or did your parents just let you buy a dirt bike so you can drive around your property? Because I lost track =[

Me neither. I never knew dirt bikes have the start and kill switch on the left. So I wonder if the first time Nick gets on a street bike if he turns on the brights and honks the horn trying to start it.

Try a 1,000cc sled, the tunnel vision combined with everything being white tends to make things interesting.

I noticed that too. The choke is behind the front plastic piece. I'll laugh when I do that, and I'll do it on purpose if I remember.

MSF doesn't train on dirt bikes. At least not for the basic rider course. They MIGHT use enduros, which are street modified dirt bikes. But all of those I have seen have the starter on the right.

just remember nick. with dirt bikes especially... pin it to win it. rear tire sliding? pin it. front tire sliding? pin it. only exception is when your front wheel lifts up more than you want... in that case, pin it and use a little rear brake. though pinning it with the rear brake is helpful to control a rear wheel slide too, so.... yeah. just keep pinning it. especially with that little 140.

So, I found the friction zone! I found it when I got stuck in a pool of mud by the swamp where I was trying to do the picture challenge. I found it there, because I didn't want to spin my tire. So, now that I found it...I've started doing launches. It's like a whole new bike! I did a launch, where I did a burnout for 10 feet I'm impressed with myself. I can't wait until I have the balls to wheelie the bike lol

I thought I did, but I didn't. I realize what it is now. Now I can ride slower than walking speed.

I'm looking at other pictures, and it seems like some bikes do and others don't. There aren't different models, so I don't understand.

Maybe. Gear is my top priority right now. Want to get some good gear. Then maybe an exhaust, and some nice decals
The Juke is our current new car. My dad wants to get a used pick-up so that we don't put so many miles on our Juke. I'm supporting his pick-up plan because I want to go places on my dirt bike lol I want to get some nice decals from decal works.

As far as dirt bike gear, I know that the requirements are a lot simpler. Basically, just a helmet, goggles, long sleeve shirt (or no shirt depending on where you are riding), long pants or shorts, and gloves. Most dirt bikes I have seen have knuckle guards on the handlebars that protect your hands from limbs. I see your bike doesn't have them. You might want to add that to your list of future mods. http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com...cessories.aspx
