Dirt Biking In The TN Hills with my boys! Chaos!

- A guy finally got a few minutes "Free" from @ViceGripGarage so I took my boys out timber riding in the hills of Tennessee. Unfortunately, we went on a muddy day and got caught in a storm. And of course, breakage.

Need more Dads like this.
We need more fathers like you. Boy falls (or girl) and you don't rush over to help and brush off the dirt. Just the encouragement & instruction so they can accomplish something themselves. Great parenting!
Such a great dad.. my dad taught me so much and this reminds me of him. He died in 2006 at 95. Your boys will look back and remember all these great times.
Those 44 minutes put a smile on my face and a tear in my eyes too. My dad (passed in 2015 and miss him terribly) hated dirt bikes but gave in to me when I was 14 so that I could buy my first one with my grass cutting money. 1974 Suzuki TS100 for $350 in 1980. I loved riding and kept dirt bikes for almost 40 years (mostly Honda CR250's). When my sons became old enough, we started to ride together and your videos took me back to a cherished time. They are now 27 and 26, have their careers started, girlfriends, truck payments, etc. You're a great dad and it's insanely important to take some time away do this with your sons. Thanks for sharing your day with us just to keep those memories alive.
Those suzuki TS models were great. I sadly sold mine several years ago ( mine was a 1973 ts185) bought it back in the mid 2000s when I was a lot younger for I believe $50. Needed a LOT work then and right up to when I sold it. Ol girl was stubborn sometimes to start but when she finally fired up, she just kept going and going.
Thanks Bailey&Bentley for lettin us go along for the trip. Slimy mud,wet leaf covered rocks, mud holes,and y’all came back with no broken bones or teeth!!!!!!! Good job boys!
I think the most impressive part of the whole deal is that Bailey fought through all of that muck in a pit bike. He's a trooper.
Darn right, glad he's breaking out of his shell and embracing how awesome this stuff is.
Derick you truly are an idol. From the time you spend turning wrenches with your boys in the garage to moments like this. It’s the little moments like this mean so much to your boys as they get older. Really tugging on a ol’ boys heart strings. Keep it up buddy
Maybe the guys from bikes and beards can help you get that old harley running
I was just thinking that! Curious, the method you use to stand up a heavy Harley would work just the same for a youth rider on a dirt bike? I've always been on four wheels, so this new to me.
I sniff a collab coming on.
Sean!!!
Them boys could use some decent used dirt bikes !!! I know your a man that can make things happen !!!
Fully support this collab!
Bailey is the hero of that ride. Smallest bike and no clutch. Bravo to the kiddo
Gotta take some time with them boys on the other fun things too! Thanks Derek, Jess, & Boys for the good times watchin!
Thanks Derek,love how willing you are, as a dad,to take the time for man time with the boys, they will never forget that you took this time with them.
Derek, I have to say that this video really pulled on my heartstrings as you said. I lost my father when I was about Bailey‘s age and missed out on a lot of opportunities such as this with him. Seeing you spend quality time with your sons is awesome. I am married now and trying to start a family of my own and hope to enjoy moments just like this. Been watching your channel for a few years now and I’ve enjoyed every second of it. You and your family are an inspiration and it’s awesome to see where you guys are now. Keep up the great work!
I'd like to see the bike on vice grip garage. Never bad to mix things up from time to time.
YES! Let's see that "Fraken-Harley" in the shop! Cleaned a bit and brought back so's the tires see some inappropriate wear!🏍️😎
Ya with you there
You know what'd really throw peeps for a loop, lodge fix the bike..can't say I've seen a revival on lodge
We’re all reminiscing of our own childhood while watching this video Derek. In this crazy world, it’s wonderful to see there are still families like yours living the dream. Your boys don’t know it yet, but they will look back at this day as a great memory they will cherish forever. You’re doing awesome things Derek. I sure do admire you. Thanks for taking me back in time and remembering how my Dad did his best to be a good father. ❤️
Great video. Thanks for taking us along. I’m 53 and my favorite memories are the times spent with my dad.
Loved this video, Derek! Nothing better than seeing a father spending time with his kids,and being a role model for his sons of how to be a good dad,you are to commended for taking time out of your busy schedule to fill that responsibility .This is a rare thing in our self-driven society, and I am glad to see an exception to the norm.
Bringing fond memories of dad in the garage. We lost him this year. Thanks for the show. Really needed and loved it.
I lost my dad when I was 19. Riding was something we enjoyed together but didn't get to do a lot of. I'm sitting at my desk at work and I was finished an hour ago. I couldn't stop watching. To you, it's probably just spending time with your boys. To some of us, it was a video full of teary eyed smiling. The high 5 at the top of the hill got me. You absolutely made their week. Seriously, thank you for sharing that experience. You're an awesome guy and an amazing father.
Love this…brings me to tears! You are so very blessed, and so are your sons. Many of us could only dream of our fathers spending quality time with us. This just warms my heart! Thank you for including us all in the adventures with your family. You’re a dream dad! So proud of you! These boys will never forget these memories!
A fella can really enjoy a video of Dad and son's bonding going out and riding the dirt bikes in the mud! Bailey's bike was ill prepared for this ride but hey having fun together!
This episode made a guy shed a tear or two as this is how I was raised on bikes and wheelers. Your raising those kiddos as good as any good ole boy could imagine. Love to see it. Hopefully they follow in their fathers footsteps!
Love to see the family grow. Those tiny humans each of us have are what it’s all about. No doubt they will remember this forever
I don't have time for cars these days. My 3 boys still wonder about my old race car that none of them have ever seen start and run. But, we're riding dirt bikes. Such a great way to spend time with your kids when you find time. Building memories.
Derek, I love watching you be an amazing Father to your little humans. You just made more amazing memories for you and the boys and thanks so much for you, Jessica and the kids in what you do and for sharing with us 😊 ❤️
I kept turning my head looking over my shoulder for Bailey and Bentley like I was on the trail with yall. Great job guys. Kinda felt bad for Bailey though, he definitely needed a dirt bike on that trail.
Yeah, I completely agree with you.
We definitely bit off a LOT that day !
Pit bikes are fun but those 65 sized wheels definitely limit where you can go, especially as a beginner rider. Still it's fun to try as a kid. I never had a pit bike growing up, but I rode plenty of them. They're fun on mini tracks but for trails my XR80 or later on a KLX125 was a lot more fun. I was 10 inches from touching the ground on my RMZ250 so I never rode trails on that thing.
Well I'll be dipped! This brings back so many memories. My little brother and I grew up on these. We had little 50s Yamaha and Hondas, then Suzuki 100, YZ 80 while my alcoholic,mechanic crazy dad rode a Husqvarna 250. Boy did we have some times and lots of scars to prove it. After that it was 4x4 square bodies we built from junk. But we sure tore up the sandunes out in west TX!!🎉 I love what you're doing with your boys, it got me motivated to revive my 79 for my nephew. Unfortunately my brother passed away a couple years ago. Anywho I'm rambling, keep up the good work Derek!
Derek, you are a guys guy. This is the "good stuff" right here. My dad taught me everything I know about wrenching. With that, I'm making a pretty decent side gig out of it and will make it full time when I retire from my real job in 5 years. I still have fond memories of us doing this through the everglades when I was a kid. I can't remember wheat i had for lunch yesterday, but remember riding wheelers when I was 6. Keep up the good work Derek. These boys are only young once.
Brings a tear to my eye watching this one. I have fond memories of riding with my dad through the trails. I now ride with my son and cherish the time we spend together.
Fun to watch. Had a 74 Honda SL100 4 stroke. What a blast. Blew a fuse about ten miles back in Wherehouser roads and figured out I could wrap the aluminum from a piece of gum around the fuse to get me home. Good thing there wasn't a short. I learned about them later. The fuse never blew again. I don't know. I'm 60 now so that was a minute ago. Awesome video Derek, Thank You!
Great Dad & Great boys having fun together- NOTHING BETTER TO WATCH THAN THIS - WELL DONE
This video absolutely put a huge smile on my face. It brought back so many fond memories of riding dirt bikes with my family. I got my 1980 Honda Z50 when I was 6 and then jumped up to a 1981 Honda XR200 when I was older. I remember my dad showing me how to work on my bike (and later my car) also riding ahead to check out trails just like you did for your kids. Derick, you are one fine human being and a great father! Thank you for sharing this special moment with the world!
My first bike when I was 10 was a BRAND NEW Honda Elsinore MR 50. Took the governor off, and that was my daily transportation, and fun. Country life in Longbranch Washington in 1981. Yer' doing your boys right! Love this.
Dirt bike riding with the family always builds memories they’ll never forget. My kids have been riding since they were 4 they’re now teenagers and still love riding. I think they’ll do it the rest of their lives.❤
Going thru the comments, it’s amazing how similar our upbringings were!
I’m a 2-stroke feller for sure! Had a QR50 to start with, then a PW80 and ended up with a DT50. After that it was time to grow up with work and responsibilities. Now I should be able to blame my 40 year-crisis and get me a bike again! ☺️
Those boys will always remember these times. I'm glad to see you making time for the family. I wish my dad had done these kinds of things with me. A fella's gotta say though, get Bailey a real bike for Pete's sake! He struggled the most with that thing. LOL
The laughter at unloading ”oh we are gonna get dirty today”! Epic!
"Did the right thing and made them both run"... my man I needed that today!!! I love dirt biking with my girls and love making stuff run since I was also knee-high to a grasshopper! I haven't really commented before, but I've fallen in love with your content over the last few months!!! Keep it up, you are an excellent mechanic, comedian and probably the best family man out there...so refreshing!!!
Best vid yet Derek. Those boys are having THE best life, ever.
Guy has to play as hard as he works.
Nothing better than a 2stroke bud. Had a DT125 and then had a 92 KX250. Both great bikes but the KX250 was my favorite and I miss it. I would love to find another one. Like you I gave it up and went to street bikes. Been riding Harleys for many years. You are a good dad doing things with your boys. They will never forget.
I came across your videos awhile ago and watched about a hundred or so now and can tell we'd be best friends from your country music lyric drops, taste in vehicles and general good nature about you. Cheers from Oregon.
Most dads would start their kids out on a dry trail on a sunny day on mostly level terrain. Not Derek, he's a, if you want to learn to swim, I'll just toss you in the deep end kind of guy. Probably why we love him so much. I noticed a real difference between the way Bentley was riding in the early part of the ride to the way he rode on the way back. He definitely gained some confidence and started riding more with his feet on the pegs than off. He's going to be an excellent motorcyclist as he gains more experience. Fun watching you guys out their enjoying the nice weather, lol.
Nothing better than to see a dad spending time with two terrific sons. Enjoy Derek they grow up quick 😊🇺🇸
This is one of the best videos I've seen in a long time because you had your boys with you and you were out just having fun
Father of the year! I love it. I raised 2 sons who are now adults and I miss those great times when they were young.
Love it.. Yup, 50+ years ago hammering the trails on a 72 Honda, if it broke you just has to figure it out. My dad help me as much as he could, however he was blind by the time I was 10 and at 16 I became his driver. Still lots' of great memories .. God bless
As much as I love all the car content and other stuff, this is now my favorite thing y'all have ever shared!!! As y'all can likely tell from my Avatar, I love two-wheeled Adventures and the fact that Derek is such an incredible father teaching his kids all these valuable life skills that I look forward to doing the same with my own one day!
That honda 100r is the nicest I've seen and probably the nicest restored 100r out there. And the deal your boy got on it, made my jaw drop. I cant believe that's all he paid. Congratulations to your boy for getting a deal like that. Well, Godbless you and your wife and your boys. Take care, Steve.
Bentleys realization when he realized that’s why his front end wobbles 😂 reminds me of my younger self.
Dirt bike family fun!!
What’s up buff
@@LunarOutlawsGarage hello lunar
Takes me back to riding with my son and his friends! Your boys are naturals.I'm rebuilding the engine on an old Golwing this winter, but next I think I'll fix up the old dirt bikes, for when my son AND grandson visit. For me, 73 is not too old to ride:)
My older brother was in the army back in 1974 and I was 14 he came in from fort bragg and took me to the Suzuki dealer and bought me a brand new ts/100 man that motorcycle set me free.
Bailey is a trooper for hitting those trails on a pitty. Well done boys!
What I was thinking too that littlebuke hasn't near he type of torque or the suspension to get over the logs and rocks and whatnot never mind the mud and clay
man. its amazing the simple fun u can have just bee boppin aroind on a dirtbike with kids. i gt 2 kiddos learnin on theyre firsts. its worth every penny when you smile with pride
Back in the day we never thought of if something went wrong unless you wasn't at the dinner table 😂
Remember it well. Suzuki 400. Front wheel plowed out from under it as that beast was prone to do. It was on my leg. My other leg was on the bike. Exhaust pipe branding my leg. Nobody for miles. Took an hour to work out from under it. You figure things out when you have to. Good times! 😄
Just bought my boy Bryce a 2004 KX65 in October for his tenth birthday. First full clutch ride and he is currently ripping up the lawn! Here in Maine you have to have a 12 hour rider safety course to ride off your own property, gonna get him signed up so in the spring we can head out for the trails! Thank you for sharing this!!
Thank you for this video and for your family friendly content. I have two little girls and they both have dirt bikes, but they are only 4 and 8 years old, so they aren't in the garage working on their bikes yet. I hope one day they will be in the garage with me like your sons. Hopefully you guys had a fun and safe time riding.
To answer your question, for a true dirt bike I am a 2 stroker guy. Really, for any small high reving engine I prefer 2 stroke. Weed eaters, small tillers, edgers, and small motor dirt bikes. Much above 200cc I usually do prefer 4 stroke, for example, street bikes, lawn mowers, larger tillers, go karts, ect.
I have been watching you for years, along with your new show on MT, I look for it every Monday on the app, and it would be a blast to ride with you folks sometime.
Take care!
I remember taking my young fella for a blast thru the bush in NZ one time, And I hadn't ridden for a while, But the next day I was sore All-over from muscles I hadn't used for a while, But super fun time bonding with the boy ! I had a 2002 YZ426F and Son had a 125cc chinese pitbike. Those were the days ! ❤
2- Strokes !!!!! Started out on a Suzuki TM-75 in 1975 , then I 76 they came out w the RM’s ,dam I was bummed ! Anyhow , finally got my used Yamaha 79 YZ 125 , then a 82 Honda CR 250, a Husky WR 250, a Suzuki 89 RMX 250, I raced , then a RM 90 RM 250 that I still own at 58 years old, it’s super clean and fast !! Plus 2 HD’S , a 63 Panhead, a 69 Shovelhead , a Suzuki 74 TS250 ,a Suzuki GS750es, a 78Yamaha IT250, and 2 Honda trx350 fm quads what a life riding and wrenching on bikes and Hotrod’s !!! Glad to see ur introducing ur boys to the two wheel life !!
Well I'll be dipped!!!! Dirt biking AND offroading in one day....saaaweeet 👌😁😎 very nice time spent teaching n enjoying time off with the kiddos can't get much better than that 😎 I myself love the four wheeler flavor lil to wild on the two wheel style but still very enjoyable thanks for taking us along Derick n kids 😉
Mountains of Northeast Pennsylvania here! I'm a 2 stroke guy at heart but trailer riding? 4stroke all the way! First bike was a Hodaka 100 at 6yrs old. LOVED that bike. Moved on to a HD 125 dirt bike and progressed from there! Now 48yrs old and unfortunately dirt is pretty much in my past but I too now moved on to street! 2014 HD fatbob 117. Love to ride and am starting my madmen Oops I ment sons out now! Keep doing what you do bro! I admire the way you allow your boys to figure it out! Yea sure we can throw it up on the table and have it done in an hour but what do they learn? Nothing but "hey Dad will fix our issues" your a great dad bro! Ps loving the new series on T.V.!!
Grew up on 2-strokes. Evertime I smell the 2-smoke exhaust, it takes me back to my happy place.
I'm 4stroke guy, 92 XR600, and a 2005 Suzuki DRZ400, I glad to see you take the time with your boys.
It means they will grow up to be good men, keep up the good work Derek
It looks like that grin and smile will never wash off Derek. 😊😊😊
Wow. Money cant buy an experience like that.
Your boys are living the dream, for sure.
What a great time with your kids. The kids did really good for first times out. Now 66 yrs it's been about 25 yrs since I had my Yamaha IT 400 out spraying rooster tails. I'd be riding today but can't get my leg over the seat anymore. I started out on a underpowered Honda 70 but learned how to beat the pants off my buddies with 100cc bikes in the trail. Got my Yamaha on my 18th birthday as my parents did not like street bikes so I compromised and got the dirt bike I wanted. No more underpower problems. One suggestion would be for the boys to practice on flat ground doing figure eights and get as tight as you can without putting feet down -- then do figure eights standing as tight as you can. The next time they are out, they will be confident to handle the mud and puddles like you shared in the video.
I had a lot of great times with my two boys, and dirt bikes. I had a RM 250, and my boys had a Kawasaki 125. Good times, enjoy it while you can, they grow up fast!
2 stroke of course! I haven’t rode in 30 years. My grandson loves to ride and got me back into it so I started looking and found a 2005 YZ250 with 5 original hours on it, bran new!!! Well I bit off more than I can chew lmao! This thing is a beast of a bike which I knew but I did t think my skill went so down hill over the years because back in the day it’s all I did. But anyway I love it and it’s awesome watching you and the boys on bikes. Do some more of these. Be safe and enjoy!
Wow Derek, this one really hit home! I too started out on a basket case Yamaha MX 80. A dead hand me down from my brother…..if you can get it running you can have it. Though I knew nothing about this stuff at my young age, I cleaned the points and adjusted them and just by luck and trying I got that little stinker running. This success started for me a life long journey of similar successes from just trying. I got a job as a kid at a local Honda shop working on 3 wheelers, small engines and un-crating new machines and putting them together. Many years later, I too ride a 250 KTM (EXC) and I am showing my little ones the ropes. Now at almost 50, I really appreciate the opportunities that I had growing up and what they have given me today. When I had that job, I used to get back and fourth to work after school on my YZ80 that I worked hard to buy new….with some help from my Dad of course. Through the woods, no lights, no tools, no gas, no brains. It all worked out!
I really can't think of anything to say better than you are a great father Derek. The patience the time and the joy and pride in your eyes as you coach I'm trying your key to be men is exemplary. One of the most valuable thing you can give a child it's your time.
I just watched this video, I’m a new subscriber. Loved watching you and the boys riding together. I rode with my dad off road in the 70’s and always wanted to do that with my kids. Sadly my body had other plans and I never got any little ones of my own. But it’s great to see your videos and how much you include your family in so many things. Thanks for all the great content.
I like how your family with you all the time. I used to dirt bike ride with my boys to. Brought back memories.
FUN TIMES! Thank you!!! I alway's enjoy whatever you show us.. Family adventures on the dirt bikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can just smell this video! Wet trees and mud, my favorite!
What an example of parenting! Thanks for sharing the memories you made with your boys
Congratulations to all of y’all!
The grins say it all
My favorite dirt bike was my DR 650. Rode 1000 miles and only about 75 was pavement on a trip to see our youngest and his wife’s newborn, rode home in a a snowstorm riding in the ditch along side the highway, it was 100% snow and ice covered
🙏❤️😎🤙
Thank you for showing your day out with the boys. It brought back a lot of memories from when I was a kid. My Dad would take me and my two brothers and even my Mom out to ride on the logging roads when we lived just outside of Vancouver B.C. Great times. Yes 5 bikes. Three small bikes in the back of our early 70’s Ford van and the two bigger bikes on a trailer.
Looks like another xr100 is in order so both boys can really attack those trails. Love the world needs more dads like you
Grew up on 4 strokes, but always loved and wanted a 2 stroke. Hearing stories amd whatching old home videos of my dad on his cr500
first time comment. you are a great dad for your boys. been a subscriber for a while, enjoy 99 percent of your channel. keep up the good work! and thank you derek.'
Bentley is his fav. The most like him as a kid. What a wonderful group of guys. Helluva family and dad
This brought back so many memories of my 87 Kawasaki KX 250 and trail riding and dirt track racing with my buddies. I can smell the 2 stroke oil burning watching this. Great you can enjoy riding with your boys.
This video brought back many memories of my dad and I going dirt bike riding every Sunday in the 1980s trust me that your boys will always cherish these moments when they get older you're an awesome father for doing that
That double edged sword of our kids doing stuff that requires a lot of discipline and maturity making us chest busting proud but at the same time we’re asking how is it possible that their even tall enough to do what their doing. The ups and downs of being the old man. Much more ups luckily. Love y’all !
Looks like so much fun! When I was a kid, my Dad bought me a Hodaka 125 two-stroke! I loved that bike! 🏍️
On May 3rd 2002 my step father called me out of the house to give me a present. On the flat bed of his truck (a beautiful green bumpside camper special) was a frame accompanied by box's and boxs of parts. Having dropped his dt400 and walking home one to many times I knew this was to be my bike. I spent that spring building and learning and by summer I had my very own freedom machine. Living in rural idaho that dt175 was the greatest gift I have ever received. Very much like your experience I too would ride into the mountains until I'd get to half tank then turn towards home. No one knew where I was and I had no cell phone. I would be miles up a single track in national forests without a care in the world. On that 175 I explored, I fished, I packed out my first deer, I met my first love and had my first heartbreak. I grew as a person. A couple thousand miles and three rebuilds later i sold her to fund a newer fancier motor scooter, a choice i will forever regret. It wasn't much later when my step dad passed and my world fell apart. Through a decade of on again off again homelessness and continuous loss i would often escape to those memories of blue smoke and single track, of wrenching with my step dad. Now having survived and flourished I have a home with my name on it, a beautiful wife and two amazing young boys. And one day soon I will call my oldest boy from the house and show him a plie of parts all his own on back of our green bumb side ford.
Had a severely worn out 84 DR 125 in like ‘95. I also love the snappiness of the 2 stroke, but I like the reliability of the 4 stroke. Also just like trail riding. Love that Yamaha! I’ve been looking for one like that. So much nostalgia.
Yes Derek, would love to see you working on a Hog!!! I amlways blown away at your knowledge of cars, lets see you with the two wheels
Man this is one of my favorite episodes yet. I've been a bike guy since I was young back in the 70s. I got my son his first bike a Yamaha ttr 50 when he was 6. I've restored a lot of old 70s Japanese bikes, both road and dirt. I know what your saying about the price of dirt bikes lately (crazy!) I have a modern 4 stroke myself WR 450 but I'm going to buy a 2 stroke next. I had a CR 500 for a while and in Utah out in the desert it was a blast! Some of the best times with my son were on the bikes! Please do more motorcycle stories!
I remember my first time on a dirt bike, my dad brought home a Yamaha 250, I was 15 weighed probably 90lbs, well a lil Feller should of asked, "" is it stock" ...nope..it was a racing bike, I hit the throttle, it lit off like a missile, I hit a log an went flying, wasn't hurt, once he seen I wasn't hurt Dad laughed, you hear "get up an go," and I got back on and off I went lol, this is great memories for the little Fellers👍👍
Started my son and daughter on dirt bikes. We have some old lead mines from decades ago, which were converted into riding parks. Over 300 acres of sand and woods to ride through. We realized we needed quads to stay up and stable. So we switched to quads specifically Yamaha blasters which I found on craigslist all needing a little bit of work so as we were riding, we realized they had friends who they wanted to invite to come with us so we had to buy two more For their friends to ride. They have now given us six grandkids so I have been buying used quads and repairing them so we can all ride on my property. They are so simple to work on and fix some of the smaller ones have an engine like your son’s Chinese SSR. Have been finding them on marketplace for a couple hundred bucks each for the Chinese quads and paid 800 for used warrior and a little more for a breeze. Look into used blasters for the boys.
The sound and the smell of a two-stroke you can never beat that that's straight mechanical and operational things happening
I have had bikes all my life, i know how happy it makes you to see your kids doing what you have already done as a child , I brought my son a CR80 it was the Honda dealers sons competition bike I used all my savings and even borrowed money to get it with helmet boots and clothes just under £2000 I spent. It may not seem a lot but I am disabled and on benefits, we had it for 2 weeks and pikie travellers stole it along with my brothers CR250 and his disabled sons 100cc quad my boy was devastated but there was nothing I could do my youngest son and daughter 14 and 10 want 1 of those electric 1000watt quads to share but I just can’t do it, so cherish every moment you can get out with them they are only young once.
Nothing like taking the boys out biking make memories while ya can
Thanks for another great video. I just love the two stroke sound and the guts i that 250🥰🇸🇯
Ah man, I grew up like you. My brother and I went to school, got off the bus when we got home, and jumped on the dirt bikes and rode til dark every day. My old man had a 1975 Winnebago Brave parked beside the garage and he would take it to town and get it filled a couple times a summer so me and my brother could siphon the gas out for our bikes haha. Good ol days.
Hey Derek, good times..started out with a Honda mini trail 70, then got a1972 Yamaha DT-1 250 Enduro, had a blast on that, still have it. A lot of street riding then, now back to dirt with a Yamaha YZ 250X...started with 2 stroke - ending with 2 stroke...2 stroke all the way...👍👍👍
My first dirt back I had was a 1974 Maico 400
I was 15 at the time I got it and that was in 1980
You grab a gear and hang on for the ride. That bike had more power than you can imagine.
But it was a lot of fun
I now ride a 2015 BMW F650G
Love the bike can run off road and on road with it
Thanks for a great show
I am subscribed to both vgg and vgg lodge
Steve
Ok this is awesome more of this. I'm a two stroke guy from the start. Started on ATVs and have moved to be into both sides of the sport but got into the cannondale ATV/dirt bike scene a few years ago and the power is awesome but I'm a banshee guy at heart. More dirt bikes this is great content
Love it! Awesome Dad and dirt bikes. My dad always made sure I had two wheels to ride. My son as much as I have tried to lead him to ride with me just doesn’t. Makes me miss my Dad, he would ride, guaranteed.
I love your story about riding as a kid. It matches mine almost perfect!
