New to Motorcycles Help

[Danimal]

Inflation and kids getting older crushed my dreams. I’ve been priced out of mountain biking too, just focusing on the kid’s sports now. Reluctant to sell my bikes though since they like to ride, just not keeping up with tech on my main rig.

I can’t afford a dirt bike or any new bikes right now, unfortunately.

I rode the same bike for 16 years, so new tech matters not, Just have FUN! and bring the young one along if they're are willing, or even if they aren't.

@Cornholio I hear you on the being priced out. Don't worry about keeping up with the tech on your mtb. Keep it tuned and ready to go with the kids or even rides by yourself. My bike is almost 8 years old, it still rips. I'd like a new one, but my oldest needs a new one more than me. I've been going through the garage and trying to sell things I/we no longer need. I am about halfway to getting him a dececnt full susp bike. My youngest is now 11, we bought him a new full susp 26" bike last summer.... He's already to big for it. Trying to figure out how I can upgrade him as well. Fortunately he doesn't think the bike is too small, so I got that going for me. "Have kids, it'll be fun they said!"
