  • Do you need a $15,000 motorcycle to have a good time? Hell, do you even need a new bike? What amount will you have to spend if you want to try riding with your buddies? After a heated debate, fueled by too many beers and not enough sense, our dynamic duo finally settled on $1,000.
    With the question in mind, a $1,000 in their pockets, and a group of friends at least half as crazy themselves, Spurgeon and Steve set out the Pine Barrens 500 Adventure Ride to test their theory in this first episode of “Drop the Clutch”... Errrrr, “Dump the Clutch”.

    About a year ago I bought a 05 DR200 off Craig's list for 1100. It is great for back roads & trails. Lots of fun & easy to pick up when you dump it. very cheap & easy to maintain, lots of cheap fun.

      I completely agree though I have modified mine completely with knobby tires not the death wings it came with. I put a nice new exhaust on it and re-jetted the carb, it’s definitely a fun bike very light very easy on the trails. Also this little bike has some torque it’s like a tiny Billygoat climbing these hills…

    "Good on you" for teaching riding on a budget. Its a shame that people think they have to have a $15,000 KTM to go riding. This usually prevents them from getting a bike at all. "Image Less, Ride More".

      I found a 2008 for $1000 has missing plastics, gas lid, missing key, and no title(but not stolen) so I’m buying a lock set for it $185. Headlight cover with bolts(about $45) getting a bonded title $100 so it’s about a $1400 bike after all that. I might get the side panel plastics in the future.

    ...rides playfully up to the guy sweating buckets and exhausted on the R1200GS:
    Q - "How's that "adventure" bike working out for you?"
    A - "It's kicking my ass."
    ...rides away playfully into the sunset.
    Perfect example of why you should A) select the appropriate tool for the job, and B) get appropriate training.

    Currently riding a DRZ250, downsized from a DR650 prior to that. The little 250, stock standard, is a great little bike. Soon to go on a group ride, and hoping to give some big bikes a run for their money.

    Whoa, Millie on the Move sighting and a sweet rally bike. You guys may make poor decisions on bikes, but at least you hang with good people! :D
    And really, what is it? What causes the drive to ride big bikes on little bike territory and little bikes where the gold-plated behemoths roam? I see dudes struggling out there on their lux-o-bikes and suddenly want to run it on a Helix with knobbies or a Trail 90!
    Great video guys! I definitely got a few laughs and you really nailed it. Don't need a bike that costs as much as a down payment on a house just to get out and have fun!

      We just kept our eyes peeled. Mine was pretty clapped out and has been passed around my circle of friends at RevZilla for a while. Now is the time of year to just keep your eyes peeled on Craigslist.
      Keep in mind that these things aren't winning any races, and they'll need to be wrenched on more often than nicer bikes, but there is still a lot of fun to be had with them. And that's the point, right? Motorcycles number one job should be to deliver a smile to the riders face.
