Hi everyone. New guy here with, or course, questions.
I'm 43 and haven't played in the dirt in over 20 years, a shame really sticking to just pavement. The urge to return has been getting pretty strong. It's at the point were I'm researching bikes and what's happening in the local off-road community. All of which has led me to the BMA.
The question I'm trying to get past is blue plate vs. green plate. I don't need to tell you the selection of bikes is greater if only a green plate is required. The FJR works fine on the road and I'd just as soon have a second bike strickly for trails. But will this be a handicap? Say if some of your group rides connect trails between public roads? I have no problem with the idea of trailering. I'd probably do it anyways even with a highway license.
Oh and my dirt experience was on mid 80's mx, RM125 and RM250. Riding was on more enduro style terrain that motocross. I imagine myself gradually getting back into the groove and shape where maybe I could participate in some enduros or hare scrambles.
I look forward to adding to your membership and someday joing you on the trails.
Thanks,
Rob
