[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 935097, member: 3828"] As for how much cash it would take... maybe not quite as much as you'd think. Now, you'd have to be willing to ride used dirt bikes, and probably wouldn't be able to afford the top shelf exotics (KTMs) unless they were really old. But you should be able to pick up some decent trail machines for ~$2k apiece. Owning older bikes would require that you can work on them yourself, or they might turn into money pits. An open bike trailer is only ~$500 and you can use just about anything to haul a trailer as light as that. So budget another $150 for a hitch if you need one. Total outlay would still be less than the cost of any new street bike. [/QUOTE]
