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.

Only time I ever got hurt on a motor cycle was dirt biking ... twice.

I broke only my little finger dirt biking. Tumbled into a little gully I
couldn't see.

I drove off into a cofferdam that I didn't know was there. The water
broke my fall ;-)
Nothing broken but I was beat up a little, the bike survived. The
carb was high enough so it didn't ingest enough water to hurt
anything. Took the plug out, spun it over. Put it back and it started.
I sold it soon after that so I don't know if there was any long term
damage but it got me home OK.
The other time I just got slipping on some leaves and tumbled down a
hill. My only problem was staying away from the bike. Again, nothing
broken but I got scuffed up a little.

I had a Kawasaki A7 Avenger. Junior rocket ship that went really quickly
and had handling problems. Wife was very happy when one day the rotary
valve came apart and caused engine destruction. Even split the barrel on
one cylinder. I would ride it in the dirt rarely as the gearing was to
high to go slow where needed. Caused a few scratches from potholes in the
dirt.

Only time I ever got hurt on a motor cycle was dirt biking ... twice.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.

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.

So, y'all have a three wheel girlie bike. What would y'all know about riding back on rutted logging roads and trails?

Don, what would you know about his previous experience with various motorcycles?

Probably a lot more than you, eh?

Justan rides a trike? He thinks a trike is a motorcycle? That's funny.
Not knocking the vehicle as a three-wheeler, but a motorcycle it is not.

The difference is...his Spider has two wheels in the front and one in the back vs the Harley type which has one in front and two in the rear.

Ask Harry to tell you about his big Ducati. Should be interesting.

Dealer told me those bikes weren't submitted by Honda to pass Transport Canada road standards. Supposedly the cost of doing so not worth it for a small market. Might buy one if available, seems to meet most of my criteria and should be good on well maintained trails.

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.

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.

Do it and skip the helmet.Â* Those are for girly men!

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.

A little dual-sport like this would be my recommendation.

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!

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

Is Toy's R Us still open in CA?Â* Real men would drag their feet on a 30"
seat height.
