The Dirt Bikes of Hazzard County

[RogerDuke]

I just finished a list of all the dirt bikes that were on the Dukes of Hazzard and will post it shortly. If anybody knows of any errors let me know. Please note that these are dirt bikes only, not street bikes. There were dirt bikes in 6 of the episodes Miz Tisdale was on. She was in 11 episodes. She was also mentioned on 3 other eps but didn't appear. 

According to my numbers, there were 16 episodes that had dirt bikes in them....at least. I wouldn't be surprised if I find more. Come to think of it.....what kind of bike was it that Cooter used to bust down the door of the Boar's Nest in a Georgia ep? Sounds like I have more work to do.

Just checked out the scene on Luke's Love Story where Cooter drives the motorcycle into the Boar's Nest. I must not have put it on the list that I put together awhile back because I thought it was a street bike. The only thing about it that makes it look like a dirt bike is the high front fender. I suspect it is a dual sport. That's a motorcycle that can also be called a "street legal dirt bike". We called them street-trails back then but some people called them enduros. Maybe the Hoss Detective Agency can help to identify the motorcycle and possibly even post a picture.

Guess it wasn't a Georgia episode after all.

I don't know bikes, and it's not listed on IMCDb, but here are the best pictures I could get of Cooter's bike from 'Luke's Love Story'.
