sturg Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) Just joined ADV rider with my new found interest in adventure riding...There are some really crazy stories including the thread im reading now about x2 24 year olds that head out from washington into S.America. Anyone have other adventure threads? http://advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=673764&page=19this is a girls from CO who the riders in the above thread meet up with and then go their separate ways http://ohioriders.net/showthread.php?t=31556 Edited October 19, 2011 by sturg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buildit Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) My big riding days have slowed way down due to unemployment. But there are lots of stories on ADV by locals doing cool trips. There's a couple of us in the Norteast forum under ADV in Ohio.Here's a recent one from a fellow ADV rider and his son:http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=723691And an old one of mine:http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=265704 Edited October 19, 2011 by buildit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mykill Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 I've stayed up all last night reading the linked posted from advrider...what a trip he's on. I better quit before I'm up all night againI always read them when its slow at work. There are some amazing stories on there. Tonik posted one awhile back about a trip these guys took in Africa??? and it was the first one Ive read. It was still one of the best ones Ive read. Oh found it Angola....http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=269251EDIT: Maybe not work safe. There are topless pics of locals. National Geographic type pics, nothing 'pornographic'.

psyco1 Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 rtwdoug's thread about riding around the world on a '62 Panhead hardtail chopper was the holy grail of adv threads.http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=462017He's doing it again on a dual sported 03 Sportster now.http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=681994 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCQTT Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Been a member of ADV since 2005. Been riding That style bike since 1989.Check out this....... http://advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=352629&highlight=ruckus+korea it is about a Korean kid who came here and rode a 50cc Honda Rukus around America. ADV is not about the kind of bike, it is a state of mind. Next year I plan to ride my Trail 90 the 40 miles into work one day. Staying out of soccer moms way will be a real adventure on a bike that tops out at 40mph. Also look at stuff StrikingViking has done.

MeefZah Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 ADV is generally a poseur free community, unlike every other motorcycle board. Including (especially?) this one.Here's my 18 day / 8100 mile contribution:http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=619034And my other trip reports, ranging from 1 day to 8:http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=193623http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=465588http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=227053http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=227053http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=233375 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casper Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Ouch but its very trueGuess I don't see that. Most everyone I've ridden with here has been great. There's been a few punk kids but that's about it. Most are good people who just like to ride. The ones who talk shit are usually the ones that don't show up for a ride.

buildit Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Saying ADV rider doesn't have posers is like saying congress doesn't have lawyers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wicked94s10 Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Advrider is just alot more motorcycle oriented. There are a few hardcore riders on here (most of which are also on advrider) but its just not the same. Just seems like more gossip than riding here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've hooked up with some good people here and on ADV. Like anything else what you get out of it is is proportional to what you put into it.Biggest thing is there are far more sport bike riders here but it's still interesting to connect with riders with different interests. Even the cruiser riders can add a new perspective from time to time. ADV has Jo Momma which keeps a lot of the fluff out of the regional forums.
