    Just bought a 17' Rally ABS for myself and an 18" 125F Big Wheel for my 12 year old.
    Gonna need a lot of info/advice on what to buy(gear etc) as it is my first foray in dirt bike riding.
    Have been riding street bikes forever (7 Harleys, 1 Yamaha and now an '18 Gold Wing)
    Also looking for people/places in my area to ride.

    Hello Mark and welcome to the forum! I tried to buy a 2017 rally last year but Honda Canada was completely sold out by the end of June, ended up with new 2016 for a very good deal. I would suggest at a minimum getting some hand guards and a bash plate..

    Cheers

    Welcome! I concur with yyz about the bash plate and hand guards. The front of my motor took some hard rocks before I got the bash plate. Really made my stomach turn. Luckily no cracks in the outer case.

    You also might want a good rear rack for gear. Lots of styles out there.

    Enjoy!
