Red face New to This!?!

Hi
I have been interested in dirt bikes for a long time but never really search it up...

I have looked at a couple sites and I havent really found what I was Looking for(don't really no either )

I just need some help of what I'm looking for ,some good sites to buy from (I live in Canada)

I really need something inexpensive but that will last
Also it would probably be good if it was used

i suggest a ttr-125 due to your experience and height. this will be a great starter bike for you,
you might want something bigger later, you could look into an 85 2 stroke, but the 125 looks pretty good for you.

as for tools, i suggest craftsman, you will most likely need alot of metric wrenches and sockets.
i work with these,
along with some wrenches and screwdrivers and such of course.
