Waytec
Adventurer
In a year and bit I will be 30. I am starting to have concerns about that because my father did not live to see 53 (@#$%^&* Cancer). so my bucket list is looking to get some checks on it. one of the big ones is to have and ride a bike. So I have looked at cursers, and crotch rockets. but I am getting very existed about "adventure bikes" as some of the manufactures are calling them.
I read long way round and long way down several times now. and they rode BMWs - way out of my price range for right now.
So what is a good bike to learn on?
I have talked to several different people and all have said bigger is better being that I am 6'2'' and for round numbers 280 to 300lbs. (I don't own a scale but I am a 40 inch waste pending cut). I know I need to go around and talk to dealers but a lot don't know much about these bikes, and being central Alberta where money flows in the pips they go straight to the most expensive one in the shop. I don't have a budget to support that.
What should I look for in a bike and I don't want to spend a lot on this one because I will drop it and probably do things to it that will make people look away in hoer, but I am learning.
Thanks for the help.
