After hunting Idaho over the last couple of years, I realized just how much a dirt bike can come in handy in some areas. Last week I picked up a 2003 KX125, primarily for that purpose. I plan on using it to extend my reach a bit more, before I hike in the last couple miles. Anyone else using a dirt bike to get around, especially in Idaho? Right now I'm working out the details for carrying gear. I'm switching to a rifle with a folding stock, and it will go in my Mountain Rambler sleeve flush with the bottom. I figure my bow will be carried in a similar way, but in the load panel. For other cargo, I'm going to build a rack up front that will mount to the number plate bolt hole and maybe to the triple clamp. I'm working out the details for the back too. I fab for a living, so nothing is out of the question. Once I have a design I like, I'll probably build aluminum versions to cut weight and make it nicer. Any suggestions from your experience on hauling gear and packing out animals on a bike are appreciated! I figure there will be a learning curve for the first year, but I'm really looking forward to covering a lot more mountain scouting and hunting.
