    18 Years in the dirt, Just got my first street bike.

    So, my brother and I decided to get on the street together. A saftey course was not an option, so we did it together. I'd suggest it for anyone new. I just got a 1982 Suzuki GS 750E that was laid down at 100k/hr, then sat for 6 years. It's in great shape considering, just some cosmetics to do. So hit me up to chat or whatever. I'm not on the road yet, but soooonn.

    I've only had it for 2 weeks. The previous owner let it sit.

    Once I get used to the bike, I want to chop it down to a cafe style.

    Cool Re: 18 Years in the dirt, Just got my first street bike.

    Yep, but now I dirt on a 4-wheeler. I've got a 1990 Suzuki LT230E. It's small, but fun to throw around.

    So if it won't make a good cafe mabye I should take my brothers suggestion, make it a MADMAX bike. He says it's halfway there already.

    Speed isnt always the key, plus we wait at the end of every trail

    Yeah, but I'm 6 foot and 200lbs on a 230. Plus, it was geared down from stock. I just want it back to stock, but right now it sure does climb well.

    WooHoo! It's almost time to put my 750 on the road. All I need now is to re mount the exhaust andf hit the streets.

    Hey Barbarian,

    Similarly, I rode in the dirt for about 15 years before I got my 1st streetbike 3 years ago.

    Streetbikes are sweet, but now Im hankering to get back on the trails and looking to add another dirtbike to the stable.

    My Dad lives in Orangeville so once i get another trail machine, I'll hook up with you Westenders and we should do some dirt rips.
