I gots me a dirtbike

[Degsy]

Anyone have any old gear they wanna sell? I need boots (size 9.5), armour, helmet, pants, shirt thingy.

New to dirt riding (well, I did some 22 years ago).

Need dirt riding buddies, anyone wanna show me around some gentle trails?

Whatever you do, do NOT ride that thing w/o MX boots -- you'll know why if you do. You'll definitely want some knee & elbow guards to go with a chest protector, and a hyrdration pack as well. The '04 dirt gear is coming in now, so the '03 is going for cheap. If you can't find some locally, check out www.mxsouth.com and www.rockymountainatv.com

re: helmets
I do not favor HJC street lids at all, but their top of the line dirt offering is nice.

[PB]

Congrats Degsy! We might me out your way, riding some gentler trails this weekend. Watching the weather and that will determine which day. How does this Saturday look for you?

[Degsy]

Not good!! I'll be racing at Loudon.

Can't do anything until I get some boots and other gear though. Might go to Brockton cycle today and pick some up.

Hey degs, go to brokton cycles, they have really good deals on dirt gear. its usually a couple year old model but brand new stuff from a dealer at internet pricing with out the shipping and handling.
Like chr1s said, definately get the knee and elbow, chest protection, as well as pants and jersey. I second the HJC off road helmet , I have crashed pretty hard in mine and while others might debate, I came out of it just fine.

as for showing you some trails, we can definately come up with some for ya. First thing to do is get the dirt registration so it will be legal for ya.

Oh and DEFINATELY buy a camel back or equivilant hydration pack, you will be more than happy with your purchase when you are sweating your balls off in the woods picking your new toy up off the forest floor and looking for a sip of water.

We will see ya out on the trails soon.

I have a few sets of brandy new elbow pads (axo and Oneal) that I could set you up with.
I dont have much else that would fit, or that you'd want, trust me on this

[R7]

October Mountain in western mass has some nice mellow trails for ya Had a pretty cool ride there last weekend with ChR1s, PB, SSG, idiotboy, and a few others

I beleive there are 1 or 2 state forests close to you that allow dirt bikes?

Oh, and when looking for a helemt, make sure the liner is removable and washable, it doesn't take dirt helmets long to get nasty and stinky. HJC dirt helmets rock
Hope to see ya on the trails soon

[ssg]

hehe rocktober "nah I never go through that mudpit, we've lost bikes in there every time I go riding here!" hehe

Agreed on the HJC thing, good protection/visibility, light weight, removable liners w/coolmax, and easily obtanium for <$200 tops.

Yeh that stuff looks good, but you can get it all for what the guy is asking if you go to brokton cycles, and you get to try it on, and don't have to pay for shipping.

Leah and I went there each got
helmet
boots
gloves
goggles
pants
shirt
elbow gaurds
knee gaurds
chest protectors
for less than $500 each.

you should really go check them out, they usually have sales on top of there low prices especially toward the end of the season like this to get rid of stuff.

[Degsy]

I'll do that Sean, they are only a few miles from me.

Sorry Mark, I don't have the cash-ola for the riding gear yet. Give me a couple more weeks.

degs

[R7]

Joel, no new skidplate yet. In fact, i also lost the other side and the bolts stayed in the carrier again I'm going to put the stock plastic ones back on until i either make one from steel or find one that looks like it may hold up.

Degs, keep us posted, prime dirt riding season is now till the snow flies

[theron19d]

I work in Marlborough and live in East douglas. Where do you ride dirt around here? I've been to October Mt. before and that is great just too far to go every weekend.
