Yeah that's what I'm hoping. I really want to hit some dirt, but my experience is very shallow. I'm thinking of taking it up to tool around at my place up in Pawnee, but I think that will get boring pretty quick. What about something like Fall River Reservoir, or King's Peak?
Any time in the seat is a good time, even if you’re just putting around your property. I’ve never been to those places you cite, but maybe TFOGGER will have some ideas.
King's Peak goes from Nederland to Alice by Saint Mary's Glacier. Fall River Reservoir (and Chinn's Lake) are down below Alice off the Fall River Reservoir exit on I-70, which is the first exit West of Idaho Springs. So very close.
Being your first one. I suggest you start off slower, get a feel for the bikes performance & limitations. It's easier to find out up in pawnee, than St. Mary's Glacier.Quote:

And riding gear in general. Also a way to repair a flat tire in the middle of nowhere.Quote:

That's why Pawnee is a good idea. If it shuts down, I can just drive over to where it stopped and pick it up. Meanwhile I can run it through the paces with confidence.

My wife had a TTR225. The thing I mostly didn?t like was the lack of a kick starter. I searched high and low and nobody made a kit or conversion that I could find.
She rode it while she was learning and then it got sold in the big dirt bike purge of 2004.
