Rainier_runner Posted April 4, 2015 My Ride Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 (edited) Well I guess I should pry get around to this... Started riding in May 2010 at 29 years old on this. Rode it looking like this. The Adventure bug bit. At the end of August 2010 I got this. Loaded for my first adventure the Wednesday after I got it, waiting for a ferry. How the gear times have changed. Built it into this. Which looks like this in travel mode. Got bored with that, although I'm still hanging onto it, and bought this. And turned it into this. While it's still a work in progress, that's primarily only because I can't leave anything alone. I'm 34 years old, a moderate rider, and live in Yelm, Washington. My name is Josh, and I have an XLADV bike problem... Edited April 4, 2015 by Rainier_runner 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Bryan Bosch Posted April 5, 2015 Administrators My Ride Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 I'm 34 years old, a moderate rider, and live in Yelm, Washington. My name is Josh, and I have an XLADV bike problem... Welcome Josh! But, I hope that you didn't come here for help with your problem. We'll be sure to help you step on the gas! Yelm huh? Had to look it up. Nice and close to Mt. Rainier National Park. Saweeeeet! 👍 You could splor' that place for a while! I grew up in the Pac NW so I know the terrain. A little soggy a decent chunk of year, but hey, that's why God gave us Gortex and heated grips, right? Glad to have you and tell your buds! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly not looking for help, more for encouragement and support from those like minded individuals embracing the XLADV struggle! A couple more pics because, well, I like pics... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyNuke Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Good call keeping the DRZ, will open up some more options for you over time, plus it's fun to hoon on. Coming from another mid 30s guy with a big ADV bike. I need to drag the wife up to the redwoods this summer, gotta talk her into a 4day minivacation.
