Thought so, I just have a dirtbike, Yamaha TTR-125L.

It’s a good bike, I wanna get better at riding, so I’m riding it more, one day, I don’t know what kind of bike I want, either a cruiser, or a sportbike…I’ve seen old Triumphs, and I really want one of those…but I’ll have to get a bit smarter mechanically before I do…time to go hang with my dad.
