Not many will say they are pro-dirt bike these days.Here's another one. Only $12:
Retro Moto Magazine
Cheap enough to give it a try. I also signed up for Boehm's.
I subscibe to Motorcycle Classics, and it's OK, but they do not like dirt bikes.
Better clean the dirt out of your pet****.No dirt bikes in pet****?
Back in the days when retro-bikes weren't retro; dirt was almost an assumption if you rode anything other than a Harley, and a lot of HDs spent time offroad. The "heros" in On Any Sunday were mostly dirt guys; Brown's footage of them carving up the dunes was as good as the surfers carving up the waves. Not to say the roadrace stuff wasn't cool too; but we all wanted dirt bikes.Not many will say they are pro-dirt bike these days.
That's what it was like in high school in the late '90s for me and some friends. Sure we liked streetbikes, but the clapped out '70s 100-200cc enduros were the way to go.Back in the days when retro-bikes weren't retro; dirt was almost an assumption if you rode anything other than a Harley, and a lot of HDs spent time offroad.

Then somebody got brained by a giant staghorn fern hanging from a tree in an orange grove and decided street bikes would be a better choice.
When I started riding (1964) the Japanese wave was building and scramblers began outselling street models at least 10 to 1. I saw Honda 250/305 Scramblers everywhere and maybe saw 2 or three Superhawks. Every street model had a scrambler variant and the scramblers out sold the street one by a magnitiude. This dirt dominance kept going for years.That's what it was like in high school in the late '90s for me and some friends.

I enjoy playing video games, but an exciting fun video game is boring in comparison to even the most boring *real* ride on an actual motorcycle. If the kids these days only knew what they were missing. And if they had parents that would actually teach them about manual transmissions and hand clutches etc...They'd rather play a motorcycle video game than ride one. The Golden Age of motorcycling is here. It's all downhill now.
