    Need some advice

    I agree, but I will need to find a happy medium for now. I love riding off-road but only go hunting for a few weeks a year. I will be riding with my wife around town, parks, campgrounds, and such. So I am leaning toward a good hybrid. As time goes on and maybe after I retire and can spend more...

I am 65 and have ridden motorcycles most of my life, from dirtbikes to a full-dress Harley, so two wheels are not...
