    Vintage Indian
    Years ago had an Indian MT100 dirt bike, little did I know that would get me into riding on/off for 30 + years. That's my father checking out while my mother snapped the photo.  Wondering who else had their first taste of two wheel on an Indian.

    ADV rider from Maine
    Great forum here, I spend a lot of time on the ADVrider.  Had my fun with bigger dual sport bikes, now I'm totally dedicated to minimalist riding on my XR 250L down the highway, beyond the skidder roads, and back where the whitetail trails...  moreGreat forum here, I spend a lot of time on the ADVrider.  Had my fun with bigger dual sport bikes, now I'm totally dedicated to minimalist riding on my XR 250L down the highway, beyond the skidder roads, and back where the whitetail trails are.  That's where I like to go.

    I love the Ural BMW R80ish design but always been afraid of the horror stories of fails, like welds coming apart while at speed. I know a guy up here in Maine who has an older 2wd version and says its great in the snow with DOT knobbies. What's your impression and do you think handles well in bad weather and/or rough terrain? Just curious since I was considering one and converting to a scrambler.

    Must've been nice to have a father who shared your life. Great pic.

    Peace
    I appreciate that, my Dad's 90 and I still ask his advice on stuff, done some stupid shit in my life  - lucky he was there, and try to pay it forward to my kid.

    Cool Photo, Gee your Dad was nice lookin, What happened to You???? LOLOL

    Wish I could find a Indian from those days, in that condition.

    Started on a mini Dirt Bike.

    Amazingly that looks like New England....

    It not only "looks like" New England, it is.  I'm from Maine, hauled a lot of  fuc&#%g lobster traps that summer to be able to buy that bike.  While it was a good bike, it was constantantly having issues, that day I believe the gasket went on the head and we ended up cutting a new one out of a box of Lucky Charms or similar kids cereal.  Didn't have much money, but the old man was pretty resourceful.

    In terms of what happened to me?  Good question.
