I think I found a way to salve my enviro soul...

I've been all worked up for a few years about (1) loving the environment, and (2) loving riding my motorcycle on 4x4 roads.

Here's the solution, and it's completely silent. Now if only it had more than a half-hour battery life:

1. Dude, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do...

A dirt bike with an electric motor. No.

I'm in the market for a 125 for my kid, and I can guarantee you that the electricmoto is not on my list of possible purchases. :D

2. Yeah, but imagine the trail-riding!

Sneakin' up on folks and such. :D

My 250's pretty quiet and all, but silent is darn attractive.

3. Now THAT would be fun.

I just can't imagine riding a dirt bike without the noise...it's an inherent part of the sport to me. :D

Your 250's quiet? :rofl:

4. 4-stroke

Less of a braaaap, more of a vroooooom. :D

5. When I bought my son's 80...

I requested two stroke, because I just adore the braap brapp braap noise. I can keep up with him when he's riding alone...you can hear the damned thing 10 acres away.

I so want a dirt bike for my adult self...had one was a kid, and would just love to have one now. :D

6. Ha!

I never thought about the keeping tabs thing. You sure can hear them at a distance! :hi:
