Call me a namby pamby…. but I'm new to off road riding and reluctant to go out and risk my nice, expensive S10. I've done it a few times and always ended up feeling like I was in over my head and the constant fear of crashing loomed. I know the bike is made for it, but it's already my favorite bike of all time and the last thing I want to do is watch it explode because of my lack of skill. Even though I know it will handle the terrain, and I also know it will handle a drop because I've already done it a couple of times. Still.... it worries me to think of it going careening down some hill side end over end when I've barely made 2 payments. On the other hand.... I think I would be able to ride some trails worry free (and have more fun in the process) if I wasn't worried about my S10. So I'm having thoughts of getting some cheap dual sport bike to take out just on the trails. I'd love a KLR 650 or a DRZ400... mainly because they have similar ergonomics.
Is this a waste of money?
