What are some examples of "Adventure" motorcycles? If I ever buy another moto, I want to be able to recognize when I have been profiled away from the Dual Sport that I wanted to buy.

The Dual Sport profile is probably holding a brochure he was handed when he went in to shop for a dirt bike!




If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

Dual sport= ktm exc 450

This is funny.

My first motorcycle was a Honda 500XL. I was 19 or 20. I was in extremely good shape then. A friend blew the engine on the Honda, and I was without a bike for a little while.

Next was a 1996 Harley Sportster 883. I got it new (and still have it), and I must have been 22 or so. I was in extremely good shape then. Think a very humble elite gymnast.

Then, I went to law school. I moved to the right of the profile spectrum.

At some point, I bored out the 883 to 1200 cc.

Then I got a new 2004 Harley Road King. I rode that for a couple of years, when I was in much lesser shape. I was never Harley-fat, but more Dual Sport-fat. I still have the bike, but never ride it.

In 2009, I got a 2007 BMW 1200 GS Adventure for a trip to South America. I returned from that trip 20 lbs lighter than I started.

At some point around 2010 or so, I got a 2007 Suzuki DRZ-400s dual sport. I rode that around Big Bear for a while, but it's now at our house in Baja.

I am somewhere between a 2-stroke dirt bike and a 4-stroke. Say a 3-stroke, hoping to get to 2-stroke again!

True. Ever hear of seal-shaped? Shaped like a seal? Or a manatee?

I forgot the point of my story. I rode the Harleys when I was the fittest I've ever been. It's been all downhill since then.
