I told you guys a few weeks ago that my incredibly awesome wife told me I could get a dirtbike and busa.... Phase I was for me and my best friend to get our bikes so we could take our sons out riding on weekends.. I have been hunting for several weeks and I thought I had the answer.... Here is my rational for the bike I chose...... I explained this in great detail to my wife, she rolled her eyes and said "Please" just do what you want...
We initially looked at the Honda CRF230F and I sat on it and my fat butt squished the suspension.... I told my wife that for my safety I needed a bigger bike, hence the CRF250x... Then I showed her the headlight that I could use to safely get my son off the trails if we got caught late at night.. Then I showed her the tail light that would protect him from getting run over in the evening when I was behind him... The kickstand was to be able to quickly jump off the bike without throwing it on the ground or finding a tree.. This increased my response time in case something happenned and my son needed me..... She said whatever.... then I noticed that I could get the 450x for $700.00 more, twice the bike for a little more... Being financially responsible the 450x should retain the value and be easier to sale in case I needed to sell it.... So today I bought me a new Honda CRF450X and we head to the lake this weekend. There is a lake 30 miles from here with 36 miles of trails. I am told that you can ride all day and never see another rider.... My son is sooooooooooo excited..... Me to
