I love those!! Nolan do any work on it yet?

Not a dirt bike but I had RS660 #8 in the US along with an RSV4 RF LE. Besides an R6 for the track, I never could get use to an I4 compared to the twins or V4's. I gave riding up last year (36 years old) due to old injuries/surgeries, etc. I miss it so bad:(
Sadly, both my SXV and Tuono are gone. Sold both after having a surgery that left me unable to ride. Probably the only reason I still have a license. lol

Who on here rides
Like many of us, I started in the dirt. My first was a 15 year old 1955 Allstate scooter. For those of us older guys you will remember it was a 3 speed on the left grip. Not meant to be a dirt bike but at 15 yrs old that’s what we did. Been riding for over 50 years and have never been without a bike. Here is a list of some of the bikes I’ve had that will bring back memories for some: 68 125 penton, 70 250 bultaco matador, 69 Kawasaki H1 500 triple, 71 Kawasaki 125 enduro (1st brand new bike $525! and the following were all purchased new), 74 TS 250 Suzuki, 75 Suzuki T500 Titan, 77 Suzuki GS 750 (my 1st 4 stroke), 79 Suzuki GS1000S (kept for 23 yrs until I hit a deer) 2001 Fat Boy, 2011 Ultra Limited 103ci, current ride is 2018 Ultra Limited CVO 117ci. Just writing this brings back memories I haven’t thought of in years.

I guess we're in the same boat. I never did anything remotely reckless because its illegal and dangerous though. I've known people to perform wheelies whatever that means.

Finally got out to ride some single track. First one of the year. Sure felt good to ride. Came ridiculously close to running over a very fresh fawn curled up in the rut hiding from me. Thankfully it didn't move. Knobs on the side of my tires may have grazed it.20220610_130533.jpg
