Are you considering buying a dirt bike? Not sure which one to buy? Need to know what equipment you'll need? Before you jump into the exciting world of dirt biking, you should know a few important tips about choosing and riding a dirt bike.

Choosing a dirt bike

When you choose a dirt bike, you'll need to consider several factors, including size and power.

You want to ensure that you buy a proper sized bike for you – if you buy one too big, it may be hard for you to control, but if you buy one too small it may be dangerous and/or uncomfortable for you to ride. When it comes to choosing the right size, nothing beats actually sitting on the dirt bike and discussing the proper bike size with a knowledgeable sales representative.

The second factor to consider is power. If you are a beginner, child, or small person, you should be extra careful not to buy a bike with too much power, as it might prove too difficult for you to control. Once again, discuss the factor of power with your dirt bike sales representative.

Learning to ride

If you are a novice, you might want to consider the Motorcycle Safety Foundation Dirt Bike School, an excellent way to learn the basics. They have instructors in nearly every state, too.

Safety gear

Never go dirt biking without proper safety gear. At a minimum, you should have a helmet, goggles, gloves, and boots. Depending on the type of riding you are doing, you may want other protective gear as well.

Other necessary gear

There are a few other pieces of equipment you'll need before you hit the trail with your new dirt bike. Obviously, you'll need a trailer or method of transportation for your bike. Don't forget to buy suitable tie downs to secure your bike during transportation.

Also, don't forget the fuel can to refuel your dirt bike with!

Happy trails and happy riding!!!
