HERE'S THE ANSWER I THINK YOU WANT. GO FOR IT. YOU'RE ONLY YOUNG ONCE. I still have my motorcycle endorsement on my license, but I think the reaction time is not there anymore to ride. I just stopped because this is not a motorcycle friendly place. Too many people who can't seem to see one in the city and not enough roads to make it interesting in the country. Southern Md used to be a great place to ride with lots of little winding country roads criss crossing the 3 or 4 southern counties. There is really nothing like that here. Roads tend to be long straight 2 lane blacktops. We have some great roads over by the mountains, or over the mountains in WV. Southern MD is too boring. === We were on some great windy roads in WV a few years ago, over near Cass and Green Bank. There's also a very cool steam railroad in that area. https://wvstateparks.com/park/cass-scenic-railroad-state-park/ I was never committed enough to ride from Southern Md to WV. I did ride up to the GW Forest once but I was usually just a short ride guy. Someplace we could go and stay off the interstate. Annapolis on the back road was a nice ride. Maybe out near Harry's house, loop around through LaPlata and back up through Chuck County. There are lots of little roads only locals know about down there. I was thinking of getting a small dirt bike to ride the rails to trails up here. We also have lots of logging roads criss crossing the province. The plan would be to load the dirt bike on my Mission utility trailer to access any where in the province. A little dual-sport like this would be my recommendation. https://powersports.honda.com/street...rf300l-crf250l Light enough to easily put on a small trailer, heavy enough to ride on the highway, easily capable of very rough terrain. Probably able to cruise at 100kph all day long! -- Freedom Isn't Free! Seat height 34.7 inches. I want something around 30 inches. I do like the "dual sport" feature though. Both my wife and I took the Motorcycle Safety Foundation course on one of these. Great little bike, could easily handle gravel roads, but I wouldn't take it off the road. https://motorcycles.autotrader.com/m..._250/201026880 -- Freedom Isn't Free! One of the gals at work had an early version back in the 90s. Thought it was a bit small for a road bike but I see the new ones can be purchased with a 300cc motor or a 500cc motor. Not really interested in a road bike. Well, here ya go. Fast enough for pavement and will definitely handle the dirt. My first Honda was a 125. Went fast enough, but not for the interstate! https://www.hondaprokevin.com/2021-honda-ct125-hunter-cub-release-date-announcement-accessories -- Freedom Isn't Free!If it's approved for use up here, might be worth looking into.This might fit the bill even better. I rode on at a dealership last year, andeven at 6'3", I found the bike pretty rideable. Will go over 50mph easily, evenwith my 185lbs on it. If I wanted a bike mainly for beating around trails and abit of 'round town riding, I'd give it some serious look. Here's a review, andyou can probably understand the guy better that I can!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ek0oFDzZcvs--Freedom Isn't Free!


Now you've done it. I want one. Only problem is, I have 10
motorized vehicles counting the boat. I have to sell
some.
