Yes yes I finally got my bike. I bought a Kawasaki KLX125. Only ridden it once as local area is strict on noise so taking it to my mums to ride. Now all I need to do is learn to jump!
How to own a dirt bike
It made me
happy 
"Awesome! I love riding it with my friends. It makes me feel free and the camaraderie is a big part of it."
How I did it: Last year I was invited by my friend Daniel via his friend Dan to go and ride a dirt bike in the forest. The offer was Honda xr400 with the full protective gear. How can you resist that. Last time I was sitting on a dirt bike was 20 years ago. Due to excitement and partly due to the fear I could not sleep the night before. We went to one of the North West forests designated for off road riding. I was the first one to crash, but that did not deter me from buying older Honda xr400 few days later. Daniel bought Suzuki DRX400 for himself. I am trying to schedule rides pretty regularly almost every weekend since. I have to say I love my Honda xr400. It's a perfect bike for the type of riding we do.
Lessons & tips: Take it easy when you are out there. Choose motorcycle that would be suitable for the level of your experience. Do not ride without a protective gear or a friend.
