Default my sickness

I've been an offroad rider for over 20+ years. I dove into the streetbike scene about 7 years ago. I never really found that love for riding on the street as I always have with offroad.

1 year ago this month I decided I thought I would try out supermoto. I bought a 2007 drz400 and I was hooked from the start!! I did have one problem..... well maybe 2 problems. My favorite color is orange and the drz was way underpowered for what I wanted. I ended up picking this beauty up this spring.

2009 ktm 690smc
akrapovic pipe
euro tail light
carbon pipe heat shields(not shown)
crg mirrors (not shown)


I ended up finding myself exploring areas around town that I've never seen before. I came across this cool construction site where a contracting company was tearing down an old warehouse that was wiped out by flooding a couple years ago. I had my wife come take some shots of the bike. I think they turned out awesome!

I've finally found a love for street riding that I never knew I had!!

She does have a great eye. She ended up starting her own photography business this last year and thought I should take advantage of it.

Currently I ride a 08 yamaha 250f for wood riding.(Couple pics from a trip to Colorado last month)
