Lol gear....hmm... Yesterday we went riding and i was wearing shorts and sandals. I hit the carborator with my leg i think, and somehow i now got an 8 imprinted on my leg. No worries, when my friend got his bike, the first burn he got was a honda imprint.

At the least i do plan to get some gloves, goggles, and helmet (derr).

But yeah i was thinking a 4 stroke or lika xr230 which is what he currently has i think (he plans to sell it for a yz250....maybe...).

And you got out no scratches or bruises?

That happened to one of my friends 3 months ago. He ran off the road, took out a small tree, flipped, and ran into a fence.

He, however, died with a stake through his neck.

No laughing matter here.

I never said I didn't get out banged up.

Thats what I meant by basic gear...goggles, helmet, gloves, chest protector and your good. I didnt mean all the racing gear....and riding in shorts and sandals isnt the greatest idea. I have seen people do way too much stupid shit on dirt bikes considering I been around them most of my life, just isnt worth it in the end.

Yeah i know we weren't doing crazy stuff, just getting around. I dont plan to (key word there), it was just on short notice (i was at his neighbors house). Chest protector really nessisary, i'd see the only use of it in the rain when the road/dirt is wet and when sliding becomes a big possebility.

btw Inf i wasn't attacking you, just its not a laughing matter to others...but did you not get out with something broken...just currious.

I reccommend you get a 4 stroke though if your gonna be riding around on trails and shit in the mountains, pretty expensive for the basic gear that you should have but overall worth it.

Heh. He said "stroke". Heh.
