Sold my 520EXC in December which was a great dual sport bike and now I have this 350 XCF-W
We recently went on a dual-sport ride where we go by four Lakes and hit four saloons.
Re-geared it for this ride and it worked out really well.
Nothing like riding your dirt bike on the street and when you see a cop your adrenaline goes up from when you were a kid and you go into ditch mode.
But then you realize, "Oh yeah I'm street legal!"

2012 GSXR 750 - love it more and more each day I ride it.
1. Yes, they are great fun. Especially nice to just walk out to garage and get in some riding.
2. Pavement hurts way worse to crash on than dirt.
3. Very interesting the politics involved at waving at other riders on the road.
Pit Row
I'm not sure who I'm supposed to wave at, so I just wave at everyone.

im looking to but a harley soon. wanting to make sure i have a good jacket to save me in the event i have to ditch the bike or someone doesnt see me.
what do you guys do to try and make your more visible in the day?
reflectant jackets for night? i have seen that you can buy ont that has reflective lines in it. but i want it to be like a big im right here sign!!
Been a long time since I've posted, but I've been lurking. Got back on my 919 for the first time in a couple of years yesterday. Felt good to be back on two wheels again, body hurts like hell but the heart and mind feel much better. Missed all of 2016 after getting my knee put back together in the spring. Missed most of 2015, got out a couple of times on the highway, but that was more me holding two fingers up to the world in defiance, no way I was ready to be out, and I couldn't even get my leg over my dirt scooter, let alone start it. As for 2014, that didn't go so well...And I WAS wearing gear.
I've been busting my ass in rehab since then (managed a 32" box jump the other day. Not bad for an old guy!). Have a new street/track bike on order (it's a special one), should be here in June. Have new knee braces on order, should be able to get on the trails at least if not the track (not in any competitive fashion, anyway) on my dirt bike. I will never get to 100% again, but I'm still alive and back on a bike, and that's what really matters.
Stay safe everybody.
As for nighttime visibility, good lights on your bike are a good start, and all those silly reflectors are there for a reason. I'm a little unsure about wearing reflective stuff. People seem to get pretty confused when they see something that doesn't seem to fit their frame of reference for whatever reason (see deceptive camouflage again) and make bad decisions (Again, my opinion, based on watching people over my 20+ years driving trucks of various sizes, in a part of the world that is very, very dark a few months of the year). Maybe keep anything reflective just red or red and white like that stuff they put on the back of trailers, basically try to look like something that belongs there that you wouldn't want to hit.
