I keep reading about "adventure" riding and there's a niggle. Isn't there a demarcation point between trail riding and adventure riding? Adventure riding I would've thought would be totally self sufficient..., tent on the back and disappearing for several days. Anything else on dirt must surely be moto-x or trail riding. In which case, KLR ain't it

Where did "adventure" riding come from?
Are we being Americanized?

Its what you make of it really. "Adventure" is a weird name, I prefer "dual purpose" . If you wanna give it a name how about Brian, thats a nice name.

I don't think you will find anyone on here that would exclude anyone on anything coming along for a ride cos its all good for a laugh, and don't let the fact you ride a klr get in the way of any mx/enduro fantasies.

Is there anyone else going to the laid back on Sunday?

The shiny new non DOT knobblies I put on are very scary - DOn't know if they'd wear down on the ride out there before they wobble me off.

Some people might find that name confusing....

I should be there.

Just cruise over via Dove Hill/Sunday Creek.

Think I might be up for it...how laid back are we talking. Ground level would be good for me less distance to fall.....

Pity it isn't on a Saturday.

Introduce an adventure bikes class at the drags, including non DOT knobblies so Padmei doesn't have to change back before next year!

If someone called Chris can do a trail ride 2-up on a DR650 then we should be able to do it solo.
I mean, how hard could it be?

Probly not at this stage, but I heard today about an 8k gravel time trial thingy coming up soon. Sounds interesting.
