Very true on both points. I think many people buy bigger bikes than they need because they simply underestimate how fast even a small cc road bike can go. A dirt bike on a small farm (where so many kids learn to ride) rarely gets over 30 or 40 mph, then you jump on a bike weighing twice as much with other vehicles around and doing 60mph+ it is indeed a steep learning curve even for the casual dirt bike rider.

Thank you!

Thank you! Much appreciated! Love these R3’s!

Thanks for the sub! Might be time to get that R3 out and about. You in Australia? Hopefully coming in to some incredible weather.

@@AussieMoto yeh in Melbourne. Went out last night, was so good. Balmy weather and no cars was lots of fun. There's an idea for a video, night riding 😅

@@gazgas6400 Nice, pissed rain all night here in the north. I’m keen for some night rides it’s just the bloody kangaroos are insane at night, would hate to slam into a big 2 metre grey while on the bike. 😂

@@AussieMoto oh yeh, good point, that would really ruin your evening. Stay safe out there 👍

@@gazgas6400 Thanks man. You too. 👍

Spot on, and Well said! I’d rather be happy than bitter!

Thanks so much! Welcome to the channel!!

@@GordonPavilion Thank you Gordon!

Thank you Windaine, very much appreciated!

I use the same old backpack I have for everything else. I use it for biking, cycling, kayaking, camping, hiking… I don’t like to waste money so if gear can be shared safely between different hobbies then that’s what I do.

Maybe in the next vid…. Lol
