I am riding this 2025 Eliminator 500 since the beginning of December and can’t wait for the hot season to hit some mountain pass!

    I’m with you

    With 16 I had such a 50ccm dirt bike (so nothing to compare to a real motorbike) and if missed the bus to school, I needed to drive with in those 25km

    In spring and autumn this was fine, but in winter…
    Once I just fell off it at the end of the ride, because I was too stiff to get move my legs accordingly.

    As I was young and dumb, I obviously wore some jeans, but still, in low temperatures and shitty weather it just sucks to be that exposed to the elements

      You made me remember when, at 17, I used to ride 12 km each way on my Fantic Trial 50 to go see my girlfriend at her parents’ house. In winter, it was brutal, I was definitely not dressed for it.
