Dangerous Dave Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 Hello. I live in northern Phoenix, Arizona. I am new to ADV riding, but used to ride dirt bikes when I was a teen and have been riding bikes on-road since 2007. My main interest in bikes is vintage choppers, however, I have always loved all things off-road. My previous bikes were; 1971 Triumph Trophy 1959 Harley Sportster 1975 Harley FLH 2008 Harley Nightster Current bikes are; 1957 Triumph Tiger (chopper project bike) 2008 Triumph Bonneville 2014 Triumph Tiger 800XC The 800XC I purchased in October 2016 after having made my 2008 Bonneville in to a mild dual-sport inspired bike and suffering on the long highway jaunts on a 700 mile ride with a coworker with a R1200GSA. The idea of having an off-road capable bike that could do long-hauls on the highway above 70mph really appealed to me and I love the look of the Tigers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. Unfortunately, I no longer have the 71 Triumph, 75 Harley, 59 Harley or 2008 Sporty anymore and the 2008 Bonnie is for sale. Maybe I will see you around.

HeavyHustler Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 For sure. I ride with a Triumph group here, AZDirtyAces, but have a 990 for adventures. My old S3 though is still my fav. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Eric Hall Posted February 11, 2017 Administrators My Rides (3) Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 That's quite a stable you got there! I think I shared that pic of you once; the one on the Tiger with the Icon Raiden jacket. I have that same one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wear a balaclava and it keeps you warm in even sub 30*F. Im not a fan of ADV jackets with pockets all over them so this one fit the bill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
