Hey There,
I joined this forum to learn a little more about the local ADV and Dual Sport riding. I don't yet have a bike, as I am still on the fence on whether this is a direction I want to head in. It is at the top of my list of potential new activities though.
A little about me. I have been an avid motocross racer almost all of my life, making it to the pro level in way back in the 1980's. I am in my early 50's but generally act and feel much younger. However, recent knee injuries are forcing me to give up motocross. Without moto, I really don't know what else to do with my weekends. I have pretty much ridden/raced every weekend (when healthy) since the late 1970s.
Anyhow, a number of friends have gotten into ADV riding the last number of years. Unfortunately for me, none of them are local. From the info I have seen on txadvriders.com and texasadventure.net, it looks like there are weekly day rides and a few bigger events each year. I plan on going to the monthly get together tomorrow night at Twin Peaks, so I look forward to meeting some of y'all there.
