I migrated to mtb from motorbike trail riding in the late 80’ish monwards, mainly as the writing was on the wall for off road vehicle sports. I didn’t own a car till 27, max motorbikes at once – 8. After dropping out of (motor)trail riding tried road (motor)bikes but I don’t think my heart was really in it, have to say that towards the end I was right on the I’ve can’t live with out it/I’ve done 300 miles this year carry on – so I gave up gracefully. Mtb is just so much more practical – socially acceptable, lots of places to go, limited (*in comparison to motor) costs etc etc, a fantastic hobby.
Hoewever, if you’ve never gone loony on a decent dirt (motor) bike you truly are missing one the of greatest buzzes available.
