I hear yha doo'en,,, 2 wheels require eyes and mind on task so a person doesn't trip-up in the rutt sections...

Older bodys don't like going down,,, ha...

The ground is mighty hard...
can't say it was ever that forgiving , only know it takes a lot longer to get up!!! and it is getting close to impossible to walk it off! but i hear ya Lem

Nice thing about the old school thumpers is they are not as tall as the new bikes. A little lower center of gravity and Can get both feet down to the ground if needed. Could be dual sport, the have the speed, fuel mileage not so bad and a little larger fuel tank.

My first bike was a 1979 Can-Am 175 qualifier. Had that for about two years and then got a 1982 XR 500 had that bike for many years, still one of my favorites. And then I ended up selling that to my best friend so I can go get a brand new 1993 WR 250 and that was my last dirtbike, as I got into quads and sleds starting with a 1987 LT 250R
