Riding Dirty

"Brraaaap"

A well known 2 wheel hobby is motocross, also referred as dirt bike racing. 

Dirt bike racing can be expensive in regards to bikes, gear, and travelling. People all over  the world travel to races and enjoy the entertainment of motocross.

Races are held in arenas. Some track racing arenas may be man made and other tracks are made naturally such as racing through the woods. 

These races can sometimes take several hours to finish.  But they are a lot of fun and are exciting to watch with family and friends.

Off the Road

4 Wheelers

Along with two wheels, 4 wheels can be just as dangerous.  No,not a car. I'm talking about four wheelers, ATV's, or quads as they may be called. These can be just as fast or faster than dirt bikes and some smaller sized motorcycles. You won't see them or dirt bikes out on the road though, as they are meant for off road adventures.

Learning about Motor Bikes 101

Motor Biking Info

For those of you who don't know how to judge sizes of motorcycles or dirt bikes, I'm going to explain.

Dirt bikes have brand names, the cubic centimeters (cc) of the engine, and a stroke number.

For instance, in my welcome photo the bike was a ktm (brand), 350cc (cc of the engine),4 stroke. Stroke is the  amount of power cycles an engine needs to create movement, engine power cycles vary in size. However, dirt bikes come only in two different power cycles 2 stroke or 4 stroke. 

Stroke Number (more detailed)

  A two-stroke, engine is a type of engine which completes a power cycle with two strokes  which makes the piston create an up and down movement to get the only one crankshaft  started.

 This is in contrast to a "four-stroke engine", which requires four strokes of the piston to  complete a power cycle.

Motorcycles are different. There's so many versions of motorcycles but for now I'll talk about street bikes. They will have a brand name and the engine size. Such as a Suzuki 600, 750, 1000, and 1300.
