Looking for some first bike recommendations for my partner. She’s about 5’5 120lbs and has some riding experience from when she was younger. We plan to mostly ride forest roads with some brief (10-30minutes, 55 mph speed limit) highway rides to get to the forest. I have a 2022 klx300 and want her to be able to keep up with me. The klx300 is too tall for her. Any help is appreciated.

Hey yall im now the proud owner of a 1976 yamaha ty175. Its my first bike and i need a helmet. I was hoping to do some hard enduro or trials riding with it as i learn. I would really just be taking it on slow single tracks and the occaisonal dirt farm road. Looking for something cheap, safe, and good vertical visiblility for trials stuff.

Im wary of open face helmets because i would like to do things other than trials riding as well.

I dont live anywhere particularly warm, in fact quite the opposite, so ventilation doesnt need to be extreme.

Thanks for the suggestions yall!

Hey y'all. Just published part 1 (of 2) of my 2026 Oregon BDR trip with 6 of my closest buds.

We ran sections 2-7 of the Oregon Backcountry discovery route in July 2026. It was an epic adventure.

7 of us started the route.
2 of us finished

We camped most nights, and saw some incredible sights during the day. Highlights of the trip were Cache Mountain expert section, the 'Luge', Skylight Cave, 3 creek lake, Bennett pass, Summer Lake Hot Springs, and others.

Part 2 will drop next week.

It was a lot of manual work, lol (no AI was used in any part of making this)

Hope y'all enjoy it,

got an xr150l last month and finally had some time to head up to the mountains. oh.my.goodness. It was incredible! quiet, beautiful views, riding forest service roads among the trees, and best of all no stupid inattentive car drivers to watch out for. Im hooked! I don’t ever really want to ride in the streets anymore.

where has this been my whole life?! inject it directly into my veins.
