Hey all, as some of you know I've been riding a big ass cruiser for quite some time but I'm really interested in adventure riding. I grew up riding dirt bikes so it's not totally foreign to me but I was a kid then. I'm 63 now with back problems, bad eyes and it seems I have to pee every 30 minutes so not sure if it's for me. I live in Jackson County so I think there would be plenty of decent off roading around but not sure. Don't think I would want to get on anything super challenging. I'm pretty short too but I think I can handle the taller ADV bikes. The last off road bike I owned was a Yamaha IT 175 and that was a fairly tall bike.
So is the ADV community here pretty active? How's the riding here in N Alabama? Any other advice before I jump into something I'll regret?
