1. We have more fun at speeds under 75mph then a liter bike could ever dream of.
2. Name another type of bike that when your sitting in traffic and you see an open field you can tear across the field and find a short cut.
3. When you're riding with other types of bikes they slow down at inclined rail road tracks and they look at you like you're crazy when you go WOT at the first sight of the thing seeing "how much air you can get this time"
4. It usually looks better dirty then clean
5. Sport bikes laugh at you when you ask them if they wanna go for a ride to find some twisties then you can laugh back when you're waiting 5 minutes for them at the end.
6. You get asked how much horsepower your bike has and you reply (insert number under 50 here) and get laughed at then they wonder how the dirtbike with funny looking tires is passing them on the OUTSIDE
7. Do i even need to mention the Hooligan factor, stoppies, wheelies, finding anything to jump, driving down sidewalks, etc.
8. You can low side your bike and all you have is a broken lever and broken ego
9. You can high side your bike and all you have is a broken lever and a compound fracture in your leg
10. Have you ever seen the look on a sport bike guys face when you say "I wanna make a quick run down this fire road"?
11. When you bump it, and it falls over on top of your lawnmower, you don't damage $2500.00 worth of bodywork.
12. Potholes are a joke instead of rimbending nightmares.
13. Kickstarting a street bike is cool.
14. $25-$35 trackdays.
15. Its fun to get the rear end loose on the street, not a pucker moment as if you were on a sport bike
16 passing someone on the latest sports bike, then when they come over when you are parked up looking at the motard saying to them " its not bad for an 8yr old dirt bike"
17. They're easier to "truly" customize by making your own parts.
18. I don't get the evil eye from the local PD like I do on my sport bike........yet

18. Chicks dig 'em - oh wait, that's right they don't

21. insurance is dirt cheap compared to liter bikes.
22. 50 MPG and running regular means it's much more wallet friendly.
23. We can gain 3 horsepower and feel every one of them
24. Watching the rider of a GSX-R1000 do a triple take as a "dirt bike" passes him mid-corner at 90 mph+ is priceless!
25. going down a little side street and giving a guy walking two big great danes a little 2007 crf450r mrd pipe BRAPPPP!!!!!!......and watching them try to take off and yanking the guy's arms off........PRICELESS!!!!!!.........true story i did it and i laughed my ass off inside my helmet for about 2 minutes straight
26. Sumo"s Take Nimbleness To A Whole Different Level.............the Highest Form Actually
27: You can see another guy on a tard while driving in your cage and not feel at all gay when you follow him home and proceed to have a 1 hour conversation with him in his driveway as your wife sits in the truck and just stares angrily at you. (another true story)
28: You become philanthropic in nature, and offer to let just about anybody with a pulse ride your tard so you don't have to try to explain why it's so great. Subsequently you pass the time in the winter out in your garage converting buddy's bikes into tards, and cursing your kind, giving nature. (Yeah, another true one, got two bikes out in the Garage-mahal® right now that I'm converting)
31. Absolutely burying my three friends Harleys off the line and waiting a long ass time for them at the next light.
32. Being only .004 seconds behind a 2007 Yamaha R1 at the 60ft line on the drag strip.
33. Running 12.8 seconds in the quarter mile and weighing only 236 pounds......
