Beginner rider looking for people to ride with

[jaydogg]

I'm new to the sport, looking to work on my skills and possibly do a very easy ride on a beginner trail but don't want to do it by myself. Just wondering if there was anybody in a similar situation or an experienced rider with patience and understanding looking to mentor a beginner.

Where do you like to ride ?
What motorcycle are you on ?
I sometimes ride at Limerick on my DRZ400S. I have ridden there a couple times alone, I would be happy to ride with someone. I am an experienced rider, but am just coming back to the Dirt once again

So far I have just ridden on private property with my Honda CRF250F. I have never been to Limerick but I have heard that it is great for beginners.

Hey guys, I'm new and got a CRF250F as well. LEt me know, I'm interested to ride easy. I'm located in Cornwall, Ontario. I can travel within a hour or 2 no problem. Limerick seems close enough.

@jaydogg & @MX_Dirtbike I can show you guys around Limerick one evening if you'd like.

@jbreedon I'm in for sure. I heard that I need insurance to drive outside my land. Any advice on this?

Insurance for my kid

Just got off the phone with NFP which used to be Dalton Timmis, and spoke with Kyle Brown who handles the off-road bike program which many have probably heard of. Had a long conversation with him. So they do insure off-road bikes, but it's similar to TD. They don't distinguish on/off road, so...

You definitely need insurance, green plate, and BMA membership to ride Limerick.

Like Ross said, you need to have insurance and be plated to ride anywhere that's not on you own property. Let me know when you get it sorted out.

Hey guys, I should get my insurance by friday. I'll let you know.

 

[jaydogg]

@jbreedon I already have my green plate and insurance. I just need my OFTR membership and then I can ride

 

[MX_Dirtbike]

Got my insurance today, membership paid yesterday, awaiting member card. I'll reach them to see if I can get my membership card by email so can print it.

 

[jbreedon]

I can do Thursday at 4:30 if that works, otherwise it will need to be next week.

 

[MX_Dirtbike]

You mean today or next Thursday? Next Thursday is ok with me.

 

[jbreedon]

Either today or next Thursday would work.

 

[MX_Dirtbike]

I can't today unfortunately. Next Thursday is good.

 

[jbreedon]

Sounds good. Next Thursday at 4:30 in the Limerick pit. I'll be in the dark grey Silverado with a Beta 300

 

[jbreedon]

@MX_Dirtbike @jaydogg, still good for Thursday at 4:30? This rain will really help with the dust.

 

[MX_Dirtbike]

Yes, all good on my side.

 

[jaydogg]

I'm just trying to clear my Thursday afternoon schedule so that I join you guys. Hoping to be able to join you guys, I'll let you know once I know.
