Have had a few bikes over the years. Currently have a '98 CR250R and an '08 CRF450r. The 450 will be converted to SuperMoto so I can take advantage of a small local paved track.
If you are starting to ride again, know that when we stop riding, we lose skills and be an inexperienced guy. I'm still learning everyday. I watch a YouTube series about riding and I'm Impressed with the guy who hosts it. The name of his channel is McRider, I think you will find it useful. He gives us real life application of what he teaches us, you should watch that brother.

I've been riding for years - started before it was socially acceptable - I got a 650 BSA in 1969 then a 1960 Harley Panhead in 1973. I've been on Harleys since then. - Got a bunch of miles & some scars.1

Power Ranger here.
Grew up riding dirt. I picked up my first street bike (Honda CBR600 F4i) in 2001 and never looked back. Had a Honda CBR929RR, 2 Yamaha R1's, a Honda RC-51 and the current bike is a 2007 Yamaha R6 that I race. Selling the race bike and looking to pick up a dirt bike again and might get a Yamaha Raider in the future.0 -

Just like riding a bike, don't forget how. But, the skills aren't as polished. I've been riding off and on for almost twenty years, with the last 11 being on closed-course or off-road riding. Each time I get back on the bike, I take time to relearn and do some skills courses before going full-bore again.
Have zero desire to ride street again. Too many inattentive *kitten* out there texting, putting on makeup, shoving BigMacs in their faces or think they're king of the road. Perfectly happy riding my tracks or trails.0
