>>961252 I ride to enjoy the /out/doors, so this is an appropriate board to post this on. I would be willing to bet that I enjoy the outdoors more than hikers and backpackers. Backpackers only invest a few hundred bucks on some light weight gear, I've spent tens of thousands of dollars on moto gear, moto camping gear and motorcycles in order to get /out/ and appreciate nature. Plus having an off-road motorcycle allows me to see more of nature.
