Okay. I was doing just fine searching for my CRF250F. Prices are reasonable. There are plenty around. And I finally let the cat out of the bag and told my wife about my sinister plans to hit the dirt. I told her that I would be riding dirt, and with these bikes, there's no insurance since they don't ride on the streets. And the price on a used bike is just over $4K.
The Black Friday weekend happened and I took the opportunity to take advantage of some of the great deals. I bought lots of dirt riding gear- a jersey, Fox helmet, goggles, pants and new Alpinestars boots.
After I posted a picture of me trying on my new boots, a friend made a comment and invited me to do a local dual-sport event. Okay. That kind of threw me for a loop. The event looks fun. I wanna do that!! But the bike I want isn't street-legal. He told me that maybe I should just buy a dual-sport bike.
I'm not willing to change my mind on that Honda dirt bike. So what to do? I know that there are street-legal conversion kits out there for different bikes. I'll see what it takes to get this bike street-legal.
