Browsing through the site and noticing I haven't properly introduced myself. So the basics are this, I am a 26-year old rider from Belgium. I started riding when I was 16 with a Derbi Senda SDR 50cc and then when I passed for my motorcycle license on my 18th birthday I started riding with a Cagiva Raptor 650cc. Did my first travel and trackdays with this strong fella and then I switched to bigger sportsbikes, Suzuki GSXR, Yamaha ZX6R and an Aprilia RSV Mille in the end. When I met my husband at a French track in 2012 my goals took another horizon. He had an R1100GS that was so suited for travel, that after some offroadtrips (soft-gravel) I decided to trade in my GSX600R for a BMW F650GS Dakar. We did minor offroad at first, going to Norway with it etc. And from then on I got carried away on the "adventure" part of life. I got an R1100GS last year myself and that was one of the best decisions in my life. At the moment I am planning a bigger project that involves all the XL Adventure Bikes, trust me, it will be exciting but I will post more of that later. For the rest, look up my posts to see and read more about all my bike shizzle... Greetz Jessica

Ha! That would be a riot. I'm sure somebody has done it. From what I remember of dirt bikes in the winter in CO it wasn't so much the cold that was the issue, but the fact that frozen things are really hard when you hit them!

Yup! This place has some top shelf people Hall. It's small, but gots it where it counts. 👍

I have heard good things about the Forma Adventure boots. I had the BMW Rallye 3 boot, which is actually the Forma Dominator Comp and it was pretty good.

Well I'm not sure yet... I would like to combine good protection with comfort if I have to walk a bit more. I have been looking to this boots more like adventure boots: http://www.in-parts.com/loja/calcado/2007-forma-botas-terra.html http://www.in-parts.com/loja/calcado/1144-tcx-track-evo-waterproof.html http://www.in-parts.com/loja/calcado/248-forma-botas-adventure.html But I'm also considering to bye ones more robust and with better protection, like the ones used on motocross. I have to find a store close by to try them... but we don't have many stores and usually I never find my size (around 12/13 on US size)

Love my sidi crossfires, comfortable to walk in as well, at least for me, but I'm used to wearing boots all the time.

I'm looking at the sg12's as well. The icon dkr boots are great and more protective than my trials balance boots but i need full blown moto x boots. As far as a suit goes. Just wear khakis with shin guards and a street jacket in a pinch. Boots are must.

What kind of boots are you shopping for? I love my Gaerne SG12's.

I found this in Northern CA. It could have been the one you were looking at as the seller said there was someone who wanted it and was coming on Monday (I bought it on Sunday!). Thanks! Looking forward to this 'adventure'!

Welcome to site. Great looking bike!

dude! that's a beast! Great bike! Welcome to the board. Where in CA are you? You should try to make our Death Valley ride Nov 6-8.

Good morning
