xwhatever on the dirt bike.
I rode dirt when I was a kid quite a bit.
And every now and again the rear will get squirrelly on gravel or whatnot and without thinking the ole brain just reacts to whatever I would have done with a dirt bike in that scenario. Plus only being able to afford POS dirt bikes tought me a little on repairs and how to ride a bike that isn't quite right. My first xr had no rear brake, so now I very rarely use the rear, and know how a bike will react with only a front brake being applied.
The 80s XR 100/200 or a kdx 200 are great bikes light enough to throw around, and cheap enough to dump.
But on the other hand the wife had never been on a bike before she got her savage. She is just a natural with no ingrained bad habits like my covering the brake at all times etc.
