Dan in Temple here. 21 years ago a new job brought me from Virginia to Temple (I got here as soon as I could, really) . About 2 years ago that company made me an offer I couldn’t refuse, so I’m now retired.
Several weeks ago I was watching MCRider on Youtube and noticed on the right side-bar a video on TAT. I’m thinking “what the **** is TAT?” One click and I’m hooked. Scratched Sturgis off the bucket list and inserted TAT. And also several BDRs.
While I’m new to the adventure riding scene, I’m not new to riding. Got my MC license at 16, a long 43 years ago. Did some non-competitive dirt biking with my 2 boys years ago. I’m now working to get comfortable and confident on this 1200 GS, as well as acquiring proper gear.
Speaking of gear, as you folks most certainly know, the price ranges and features of adv stuff boggle the mind. I’ve been researching 4 season jackets. Prices range from a cheap date to a new kidney. Any opinions on Scorpion (Yosemite) and Rev-it (Sand 3) jackets?
Maximus_flavius kindly invited me to the Meet/Greet/Eat in Bluff Dale today (10/21/18) but I can’t make that. Anyways, hope to meet up and ride with you soon.
