despite having read various members inane babbels and rambling misconceptions of what defines a "biker" or not and what constitutes an "adventure" or not, I think I might have found the definitive answer to the definition of "adventure" riding. credit where credit is due, I stole this from the H.U. faceburke page and thought it might amuse

Wow, you two posted more in the last few minutes then since y;all signed up 's

Drug running using the family as cover

I passed O Level RI in 1970........but I can't remember anything in the syllabus relating to Blowjob bans! I remember something about not coveting your neighbour's ass.....but that's about it.

My two wheel life started shortly after seeing on any sunday during a school trip to see a movie, me and my friends found parts of brothers motorcyles and made our own. I think one maybe worked kinda

You've got a Harley though haven't you, I think Pete meant from a girl.?

My CRF1000 is the first bike that I've owned with ABS or traction control, loads of people moan about the TC being too intrusive when it first came out and turn it off. I don't know how their riding but i have never felt it intrude where it shouldn't but it has taken the wind out of my sails a few times when trying to get some air over a humped back bridge or when trying to impress some chicks with a wheelie that never happened lol. Personally if i could of got the bike without it all i would have but the non ABS model didn't come to the UK

Well, lets get back on topic, nobody can tell me someone with abs is a better rider. Last thing im doing is freaking situps, exercise is worse then wetness imho

He was a US President so he is incompetent when it comes to talking about .... well just about anything.

I feel sadness for your KLR @Tym, the thought of a KLR that doesn't get wet and dirty makes me feel like throwing mud chunks at you.....or pushing you in a puddle, you see what you are doing, I'm losing it here at this non logicalness and becoming violent..... ?

We want photos of this shit or it didn't happen.

This was my "scrambler" 40 years ago.....but mine was silver!

Where's the "Did it break down?" option for the Beemers?

I love it, "did you die?": not a good adventure!

This is their zodiac sign! Water kills motorcycles!

This is only important to very sick mentally ill people, ride when its wet!?! FFS! @XTreme, what do you say about this?

Custom leather Mernickle holsters take 6 weeks to make! Poop!

If they're really custom built for you, 6 weeks between order and shipment seems quite quick to me.

I had to get a new seat for my KTM after he sat on it.

Surely a vibrating dildo would have done the job. Watertight too.

OK, sorry about my rant.? I had never had ABS before my Himalayan and I didn't really want it as I never "needed" it before. The 2020 Himalayan has it so you can turn it off and on, which is nice I guess.

It's okay to covet your neighbours ass if you ride a Honda.

Not according to Bill Clinton.

But a photo of where you're planning to go isn't the same Bruce.

Surely that suited you more?

With me it was seeing the Rockers and their bikes in Swansea Fairground throughout the Summer of 64......I was 10. As I was always there they'd all chip in a few bob for me to watch their bikes for them......and to sound the alarm if anybody (like Mods) got too close. A couple of them even let me sit on their bikes at different times......and that was pretty much it. I was hooked. I then used to watch the motorcycle racing on Saturday afternoons on World of Sport (or it might have been Grandstand)........always supporting Bill Ivy! Took me until 71 when I left school to be able to get the money together to get something....22 quid for a TV175 Lambretta! But it was a start. And 50 years later (inside) I still identify as a Rocker/Greaser. Because when you learn your trade within that mindset/culture it never leaves you. Yes....I ride an "adventure" parts bin special......and I do a damn sight more with it than the adventure poseurs and hipsters do with their cutting edge shit. But I'm still a Rocker/Greaser! So is @Renegade........but he's a toothless one!

No worries at my age time goes fast.

I said "Scramblers".......you must have just missed out on that era by a couple of years.

I prefer the term "Enduro" people older then me said "Scramblers"...not a bad term either, beatniks were cool.

There are those who choose to take their bikes down Death and Dismemberment Boulevard Tym!

Brilliant! ? I just cringe at this "Adventure" word.......but that's the word that it's become necessary to use for a site like this. Go back before Long Way Round and we used the term DualSport......which I much prefer. And if you went long distance back then it was classed as Touring. Now it's all "Adventure" Well I don't see much "Adventure" going on round this way.......yet the area itself is made for it. The only one that I know of besides myself who ends up in bizarre, obscure locations is a Spanish FB friend of mine (Diego) in Murcia......he's another old guy and he rides a very old F650GS. I do see armies of dustbin-clad Beemers sitting outside restaurants all day though!

This is why everytime a girl brings me a beer,cooks dinner and does the wash without being asked i say thank you.

Hate to break it to you boys, but it's not WHAT you are riding, it's HOW you ride it, just say'n..... ??

I think it was the promise of all that sex. He just didnt realize he was a receiver.

Just can't hit'em....

I used to love Jim Davidson until he started apologising for everything

I don't know how to break this to you Yen.......but me and Windsor Davies are not the only ones with Welsh accents. There are a few others scattered round the place! The number of times when I was in England I'd get some dumb Hanoverian asking me if I knew somebody that he once knew......who happened to be Welsh! Like there's only about a dozen of us in the whole country and we all fucking know each other! I bet you now that the other Welsh boys have had the same!

Ironic that I am the only one here that rides a bike that could get him a BJ and I don't want one because I think it is fornication. But then the old adage is true, you only want what you can't have.
