Rode dirt bikes a bit when I was a kid, started trying to ride on the streets with a ‘71 two stroke 175. Now on a Honda nx500 and still the hardest part is taking off from fully stopped. I’m terrified that I’m gonna loop it with too much gas but in my neighborhood I have to kinda scoot fast across some roadways and it’s killing me haha
First real bike. Rode some dirt bikes as a young kid less than 20 times though. Was getting back into it with a 70’s 2t Yamaha 175 but I can’t get her running again. Want something to ride since I have something to wrench. Looking at the nx500 as kind of a buy once cry once do it all bike. Not a longtime rider so don’t see myself craving speed or power for a long time if ever, not a super adrenaline junkie type. Imagining some light weekend riding, mostly staying off highways, maybe a camping trip, some off roading at our family farm and commuting around 25 mins one way to work and back. Tell me why I’m wrong because I likely am.
Anybody remember which ep Rone brought up that classic video?
