Offroad as in dirt/trail bikes? Or offroad as in race replicas?

Fun, aren't they. I ran into this in the Black Hills last month during the Sturges Bike Rally. Most of them are decent folks on the ground, but when they swarm up and storm down the highways, they are a f*ing PIA.

I’d think trail bikes because they’re easier to do stunts on than racing bikes. My first ride on a Bultaco Alpina 350 started with a wheelie and I didn’t even know it till the guy who was helping me out told me what had happened once I came back down the street.

I once had a dentist, an oral surgeon, just like that guy. My regular family dentist couldn’t understand it when I refused to be sent back to him for another extraction.

now that is funny....a fight between a car and a motorcyclist, I'd bet money on the car winning.
Same as never swerving to avoid hitting some critter in the road...in that case the car might be the loser and the critter the winner...(Michigan as thousands of dead deer along the highways.) cars won in those case's...

Check out the “stunter community”. The power of modern sportbikes make stunts stupidly easy.

..and forcing cars off the roadway.It doesn't quite have to be this way. You see, most folks are in 4-wheel vehicles that weigh 3,000 lbs and up. So when a motorcycle starts to force me off the highway, well, I could just keep going straight. The car (or truck) will win every time.

its easier on a modern dirt bike

Sounds like a target rich environment for The Snowman...

forcing cars off the roadway.I don't think a motorcycle could force my car off the road. I could see ending up with a flat tire or two from sharp edges. THUNK thunk.

You get a honkin’ 2 stroke engine on a frame of aluminum (I could pick that bike up with one hand) and the power to weight ratio is insane. That’s surely why it wheelied when I didn’t even try :-)

Some are, but anything regarding power or doing them on the highway isn’t. Dirtbikes generally don’t have the power to do a sustained wheelie at 60+.
