Motorcycle Forum / General / Sportbikes / December 2004Off road bible? (off topic)
Just like "Twist Of The Wrist" 1 & 2 is the sportbiker's bible, what is the bible for off road riding, like motocross? I want to get my friend's son a book, because he is getting an 100cc off road bike for Christmas.. Thanks in advance. ceh 2001 GSX R1000 2003 RC51 (63 & fast) >Just like "Twist Of The Wrist" 1 & 2 is the sportbiker's bible, what is the >bible for off road riding, like motocross?

I am the Great Peckhammer, and I have to agree with the recommendations for "Pro Motocross and off-Road Riding Techniques." I have this book and refer to it often. And now, for some pontification about trials riding as the best training for all forms of off-road... I highly recommend Ryan Young's "Trials Techniques and Cross Training Tools," available at http://www.rypusa.com/ (on-line shopping link). This will teach a person more about handling an off-road motorcycle than you can imagine -- and these techniques are applicable to "regular" dirt bikes. If you really want to wet someone's appetite, or if you just are curious about trials riding, I suggest "2003 Vol 2. US Nationals from California, Tommi Ahvala," available at http://www.trialstv.com/ The latter video is even more near and dear to me because it was shot on the property where I learned to ride -- and I liked it so much I bought 5 acres just a few miles down the road from there. >-- Peckham 2003 Gas Gas TXT200 Pro 2001 Gas Gas TXT280 2000 Triumph Sprint RS 2000 Suzuki SV650 1993 Honda CR250R 1983 Peugeot 103 SP 1981 Peugeot 103 SP 1978 Bultaco Sherpa T >>Just like "Twist Of The Wrist" 1 & 2 is the sportbiker's bible, what is > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > property where I learned to ride -- and I liked it so much I bought 5 acres > just a few miles down the road from there.

I'm bringing the Sprint on Christmas, dude! It may travel in my truck... or not.

I've been thinking about the Sprint, the whole reason I have the Speed Trip is because I can do things like switch wheels (or any other part pretty much) with the Daytona when I need to. I would rather buy the Sprint outright than trade the Speed Triple for it. (But Mary won't allow that....) We'll have to talk about it more. Don't worry about the potatoes, I know the state of your kitchen remodel right now. Bring GIN 1.5liters should suffice! We're having roasted Turkey! Just like last year!

Sure.. no problem. Besides, I can pick up a newer Speed Triple for about $4K, so if the bug bites, I'll just do it. OTOH, I may put bars on the Sprint. Of course, once I've invested the $300 on that project, there will be no trades... ;-) > Don't worry about the potatoes, I know the state of your kitchen remodel > right now.
