Good Morning and Happy Friday All!!

With my new thirst for a new bike, it got me taking a look back at my XT 225. I decided to do a post with my time spent with Sadie (yes, I named her). Don’t worry, I don’t have a thing with naming bikes. The Doctor’s 640 is Katie, I had Sadie and that is where the naming ends. Beyond that it just gets ridiculous

Getting her home: Here’s the story of that adventure: http://adventurouswanderings.com/2011/12/15/my-first-motorcycle/

Striping her down, cleaning the carb and all the other fun thing you do with a newly purchased bike:

First time taking her on the road:

I'm the one in the red

Conquering the “BIG” hill that taunted me for so long!

This hill always seems too big until I finally conquered my fear of it

Playing off-road:

Looking how a bike is suppose to look:

Life through the GoPro:

Stopping at a red light

Splashing through water! Always fun!

Another dip in the water

Working the bike through a deep trench

Don't worry, I bought a proper riding jacket shortly after this picture was taken

Day out a Crooms/Richloam:

Bikes loaded up for a day of off-roading

The KTM 640, XT 225 and DR 350

Getting caught in a rain storm under an over pass:

So many fond memories and adventures on this ole’ bike. Looking forward to getting back on an enduro and living all these times again!
