Snuck in some time on the bike this morning in #ridaho. Now we're supertruckin' our way to @transcascadia. (at Kimberly, Idaho)

That time I got my bike stuck in a dry creek bed in the middle of nowhere. #bmwmotorrad #makelifearide #rideyourownride #adv #advrider #motorcycle #happiness #advaddicts #shinysideup #twowheels #livetoride #rIdaho #f800gs #vagabondway (at City of Rocks National Reserve)

I believe this was out the old route 75,before the put the new road in to go over Galena Summit. #Yamaha #it425 #twobanger #humblebeginnings #gooddirt #rIdaho #rideyourownride #adv #advrider #n00b (at Galena Lodge)

Eventually, I got properly outfitted, and I was real glad I did. This gear may look like overkill from putting around some logging roads, but it saved my ass plenty of time and kept me working in the kitchen. And, I'll admit, it made me feel pretty badass, to boot. I still wear those gloves from Fly, a Boise based company, thanks to Wheeling local cobbler, Joe Campeti putting a patch on one. #Yamaha #it425 #twobanger #humblebeginnings #gooddirt #rIdaho #rideyourownride #adv #advrider #n00b Photo by Evonne Marie.

The bike got me to some beautiful places around our pocket of Idaho, like this old miner's cabin. #Yamaha #it425 #twobanger #humblebeginnings #gooddirt #rIdaho #rideyourownride #adv #advrider #n00b (at Galena Lodge)

My first set of riding gear consisted of work clothes and an ancient snowmobile helmet we used at the Lodge for gear runs. #Yamaha #it425 #twobanger #humblebeginnings #gooddirt #rIdaho #rideyourownride #adv #advrider #n00b (at Galena Lodge)

After years of talking about how much I wanted a motorcycle, I finally decided to shit or get off the pot. I signed up for a beginners course in Shoshone, and I was hooked. About a month later I found this 1980 Yamaha IT 425 on Craigslist for sale by a welder in Twin Falls for $500. I rented a trailer and went down to pick it up. I was scared to ride it without a helmet, so the welder demoed a test ride for me. I spent the whole summer of 2012 riding the logging roads and trails around Galena Lodge, and by August I knew I had to get a real bike. My only regret us that I didn't start riding sooner! #Yamaha #it425 #twobanger #humblebeginnings #gooddirt #rIdaho #rideyourownride #adv #advrider #n00b (at Galena Lodge)
