>>880316I had a 1984 Honda 250R and my buddies had various dirt-bike and wheelers (including a sand rail and VW buggy) and back in the day, we road our asses off up all around Tawas and Oscoda Michigan.
I flogged the shot out’a that 250R until the mid 90s, when by then it was tired out and the piston skirt had broke, so I sold it to guy who rebuilt it to haul his ice fishing shanty (he still has it I believe).
Back then, there were essentially no rules on off-roading on state / fed land and we’d ride trails and dirt roads for hours on end but eventually, it got so popular and so many people got wheelers, that all kinda restrictions were brought in (riding only on marked trails, scramble areas, etc.).
But by then, my buddies and I had gotten older, married with kids, etc. and had given up the wheelers and dirt-bikes for hunting and fishing.
