Dave from Phoenix, AZ


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

Yes you did! Thank you!

I love that jacket. Cant beat the features for the price IMO. 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.
