[QUOTE="sideways, post: 1474400, member: 145551"] Hello all, found this site by searching for why dirt bike riders throw a leg forward in a turn. I am as the title states 59 years old and green as a gourd. I have ridden dirt bikes but never owned one of my own until recently. the last dirt bike I was on was a suzuki 500 2 stoke nearly 40 years ago so for all practical purposes I have never ridden until now. I know that seat time is the best way to learn but I am hoping to avoid some bad habits and minimize injuries and glean some knowledge from the members here. My background: I am a tradesman and grandfather of 3, a nearly life long horseman and rode street bikes until recently. I have no illusions of racing or showing out at XGames I just want to become competent in loose deep sand and learn to trust a dirt bike as much as I trusted my street bikes. I am sure if you vet's reach back in your memories you will remember the first hairy situation when you thought the bike was out to kill you. I have the first wreck out of the way so I am ready to get to it !!! Thanks to you all. [/QUOTE]
