So some of you may know, I'm thinking about picking up a dirtbike sometime this month and was hoping you guys could offer some advice. This stuff is COMPLETELY new to me...What bikes should i look into? I was thinking maybe YZ or CR125's... I was surfing around dirtrider. for information. Seems like I should stick with a two-stroke for ease of maint. etc I'm not really looking to get into racing or anything yet, it's just a hobby I've been interested in since i could ride two wheels. Mainly wanna hit trails, maybe some jumps, etc One thing that concerns me, is my size, I'm about 5'6-7ish, 145 lbs. What size of bike would fit me well and be good for learning? What stuff should i look for when purchasing, forks, chain, brakes, engine? Is there a lot of local places to ride? Do you just need a permit to ride most of these trails, and parks? Where should i look for used bikes, craigslist, etc? Right now, I'm just looking for something reasonably priced that I can have some fun with and maybe whip the ole farts on here too. Any advice is appreciated! thanks Aaron
