HERE'S THE ANSWER I THINK YOU WANT. GO FOR IT. YOU'RE ONLY YOUNG
ONCE.

I still have my motorcycle endorsement on my license, but I think the
reaction time is not there anymore to ride.

I just stopped because this is not a motorcycle friendly place. Too
many people who can't seem to see one in the city and not enough roads
to make it interesting in the country. Southern Md used to be a great
place to ride with lots of little winding country roads criss crossing
the 3 or 4 southern counties. There is really nothing like that here.
Roads tend to be long straight 2 lane blacktops.

We have some great roads over by the mountains, or over the mountains in WV.
Southern MD is too boring.

===

We were on some great windy roads in WV a few years ago, over near
Cass and Green Bank. There's also a very cool steam railroad in that
area.

https://wvstateparks.com/park/cass-scenic-railroad-state-park/

I was never committed enough to ride from Southern Md to WV. I did
ride up to the GW Forest once but I was usually just a short ride guy.
Someplace we could go and stay off the interstate. Annapolis on the
back road was a nice ride. Maybe out near Harry's house, loop around
through LaPlata and back up through Chuck County. There are lots of
little roads only locals know about down there.

I was thinking of getting a small dirt bike to ride the rails to trails up here. We also have lots of logging roads criss crossing the province. The plan would be to load the dirt bike on my Mission utility trailer to access any where in the province.

I'll bet I've been on every one of them. My neighbor had a Harley, and was not
into WV roads at all - too wild and curvy. So we would ride the small roads in
MD. I called it 'dorfing' - no map just picking a direction at each
intersection. He could never understand why his Harley, with 1700cc engine,
couldn't out drag my Guzzi with a 953cc engine.

https://powersports.honda.com/street...rf300l-crf250l

Light enough to easily put on a small trailer, heavy enough to ride on the
highway, easily capable of very rough terrain. Probably able to cruise at 100kph
all day long!

Now that you mention it, the only time I can recall falling off a motorcycle was when I took my 175cc CanAm TNT back in on a narrow rutty dirt road. That's why I'll be thinking of a small bike somewhere between 125 cc to 250cc. Anything bigger is a bit too tall in the saddle for me to get both feet on the ground. I don't plan on going too fast either and I want something easy to load on my trailer.

Seat height 34.7 inches. I want something around 30 inches. I do like the "dual sport" feature though.

The idea of a motorcycle is to ride it: not carry it around on a
trailer. I have a 1300cc Can Am. There's no worries about getting
both feet on the ground unless you are dismounting.
