Ladies and Gentlemen, start your engines!

Okay, so you may not have an engine to start, but if you're yearning for a new kind of fun, want to stay in shape without going to the gym, or can hear The Great Outdoors calling your name, consider getting a dirt bike.

Dirt Bikes 101 was written for adults who might be interested in dirt bikes as a hobby. The book was not written for kids, experienced riders, or mechanics. It's for people who have always wanted to own a dirt bike but thought they were just for kids. The book is also for those who may have ridden as kids, but have lost touch over the years and want to pick up where they left off, but aren't sure where to start.

This website was created as a companion site to the printed version of Dirt Bikes 101. Creating a companion site for the book allows audio, video and web links to complement the text of the book.

While compiling information to include in this website, I came across this forum thread from ThumperTalk (a four stroke is sometimes called a thumper) and it really hit home with me so I thought I'd share. The thread centers on New Jersey, but it could apply to any art of the country. Goes to show how much the world has changed.
