Today's Wisdom From ADVrider

I love ADVrider.com! Best most entertaining dual sport dirt related moto site there is....
Here is a choice bit I found today in a lively discussion thread:


Q from CodyY:

"Since when is a 300lb (motor)bike with 25hp and flexy suspension that was out of date since the Regan administration considered good?"

A from Kommando:

"Since looking for a dualsport, and not an enduro/dirtbike.

Since climbing off a 500-800lb bike to ride more offroad.

Since climbing off a 250lb bike to ride more onroad.

Since the DL1000, 1200GS, and other such behemoths have been called "dualsports".

Since none of the bikes you mentioned above are limited to 25HP.

Since 25HP will haul a 200lb rider on a 300lb bike at a legal speedlimit just fine.

Since climbing off a bike with NO suspension, or since climbing off a bike with 12" of kidney-pounding MX suspension.

Since wanting to carry a passenger on some rides.

Since riding for fun instead of a time or a stunt score.

Since wanting to ride across continents, even in remote areas.

Since you asked about "good", and not "outstanding" or "excellent".

Since...Who the hell is "Regan"?"

My favorite part is this one:
Since the DL1000, 1200GS, and other such behemoths have been called "dualsports".

Hahahaha! What an awesome line! Just go watch The Great Escape and the soul of motorcycling will be revealed to all...
