The invention of the dirt bike for the USA
The dirt bike is debatable when it comes to who invented it. Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach are said to be the first inventors of the motor bike. Although it wasn't an actual dirt bike this was the first actual bike. Now, Soichiro Honda is the founder of Honda industry and he is said to be the one who started the off-road dirt biking. He started this because at the time the thugs and the bikers were riding at the time, pushing people off the road. They would push the other riders in the ditches and off by the ponds. He made this transformation in the late 1950's and the early 1960's. At this time he put a better suspension and the bigger tires and then put more traction on the tires. By 1963 these new and improved bikes were being seen on the back of pick-up trucks and rvs. People all over were taking these bikes from the store by the bulk. Retired men who never thought them selves to be bikers were buying them to get around the camp ground and get to their favorite fishing ponds faster and easier. Children were riding them to school, just as their mothers would use them to get to the market and back faster.
