Too Old to Ride?

ElkhornRich · 04-07-2019, 11:44 AM

Hello to all
Joined your group today. Recently took up dirt bike riding, probably not the smartest thing an over 70, great granddad, could do. (Just take is slow and fall less than those flexible younger guys.) Did years of road riding but it just became boring.
I have a Kawasaki KLX 400, plated, that I've been riding and the local grounds, but just received a Tao Tao DBX1. Figuring to develop better technique with the smaller bike and transfer it to the 400, in due course.
I'm planning to warm the DBX and change the oil right off. Tighten all the bolts and nuts, etc., that appear to need it, keeping the Locktite near at hand, and maybe making some basic mods in the near future.
Any comments or suggestions would be much appreciated. In the meantime I will be checking out the forum for as much information as I can soak up.
