    Hey everyone, my names Shawn, a long time Tacoma dreamer. Finally picked up a nice Black 2016 4x4 sr5 double cab today and couldn’t be more stoked.

    I typically build and modify motorcycles but since my wife and I are expecting our first child, we decided to sell some of our bikes and get me a better truck with 4 doors and space for a baby seat. I’ve been reading this forum for a bit now, and now I finally get to take all that information/inspiration and put it to use. Stoked!

    We will definitely always have bikes! We’re actually transitioning from road bikes to Mx bikes. Around here, trail riding is much safer than riding on the street, plus they’re cheaper.

    Cheaper? MX is way more expensive, new 450 will run you $9-12k, plus gear, boots, helmet, track fees, gas, etc. But indeed safer than street, I rode both, but once I got stationed in Jersey I sold the street bike and invested in MX. Enjoy and take it easy. Injuries are definately a part of it.

    That’s assuming you’re buying new 450s! We snagged a wr250x for my wife (still road legal IF we need it) and I’m a two stroke guy, so the CR250 is on my radar. Both of those bikes cost the same as just one of our street bikes. We already have most riding gear except our own helmets, but I used to work at a local shop selling motorcycle helmets so I still get employee discounts. We don’t really plan on riding tracks too much either so hopefully that takes down on fees and possible injuries. But who knows.. I have an addictive personality when it comes to this stuff lol.

    Thanks! We definitely will, it’s something my wife and I have enjoyed together for years. They don’t take up TOO much room in the garage so why not!

    Trails will be safer and more affordable as you mentioned but mx by no means is cheaper. Have done it all for some time now.
