yes there are no other cars to deal with, but i'm talking very granular.
it is much more difficult to ride fast off road than on the street. i've done both, and riding on the street is much much easier and takes much less effort.
anyone who argues against this hasn't done both.
its very irritating to hear idiots get on their soapbox about riding on the street, like its something ------- special or hard.

Re: looking at purchasing my first bike....
I think rs' point is that off-road you have a bit more obstacles and not as much traction and not quite the smooth surface. "More dangerous" because it's easier to screw up.
All yall's others are talking about the idiots on the road and regular driving "dangers" that make it more dangerous. "More dangerous" because of the idiots and road conditions.
Now can you folks quit bitching back and forth?

Personally I'd feel safer in the dirt but they both have their own dangers.
