Gonna buy a Dirt Bike
« on: December 02, 2002, 02:36:21 PM »
As some of you know, I started working out a few months ago, and it just plain sucked. Working out just doesn't appeal to me. I started brainstorming on how I could get into shape without much work. I thought back to my days of youth, the two activities I enjoyed most of all was slalom skiing and riding my old CR250. Both activities left me wore out, but after a few weeks of it I'd be in shape. SOOooooo... I'm gonna buy a dirtbike.

But I'm not sure which one to buy, and I don't have much to do right now so I figured I'd ask you dorks what you thought. It's gonna be a two-stroke. Two-stroke instant power and screaming exhaust is definitely a plus. It's not gonna be new either. I saw a '97 Kawasaki 250 in town for sale for 2200 bucks. Think I might buy it.

Thoughts?

Good idea to help you get in shape man.  It is a very physically demanding sport..and fun as hell.

If done consistently, 3 times a week or more, Curval.

Sure..like any exercise.  More fun than lifting weights IMHO.

I hate lifting weights...obviously..just look at me.  But, I play a mean game of tennis, not bad at golf...and I'm a sexual dynamo.
I try to get the latter in at LEAST 3 times a week.

That is the extent of my exercise.

Instead of a dirt bike, I suggest you run as fast as you can into a brick wall at least 3 times a day. This will simulate the beating you are about to give your "no-longer-teenage" body and save you the cost of the bike.


No need to thank me.

Frequent mountain-biking may reduce fertility in men, according to a small Austrian study that adds fodder to a debate over cycling and male sexual function.

Guys, Apparently you haven't met me. I am one ironclad mofo. Age is just a word to me. I will conquer any hill I encounter. I am invincible. Now, let me stop typing a second so my fingers can rest..........There, that's better. Now, back to the subject, isn't there any of you old codgers who own an off road motorcycle? Wlfie, mountain bikes require pedaling, and that's too much exercise man. :p

I love the way a two stroke sounds....

Ying! Ying! Ying! Ying! (idling)
WAAAAAaaaa!  WAAA~~~ ~~aaaaaa! WAAAAAaaaaaaaaaa !!

Had a 175 Enduro back in 1975 (shrugs) then I got my license, and couldn't get the women to ride with me on the dirt bike.:)

Hblair... I'd only advise getting a dirtbike for "workouts" if you feel having the use of all your limbs is not critical.
