Adventurer
Found this in the bottom of Kane Creek Canyon
The guy has serious balls riding the bike in there on stock tires.

The bike looked like it had been crashed many times. We eventually found the rider, walking back into the canyon to get the bike. Apparently he broke the blinker off, it rubbed on the exhaust, then caught fire. He dumped the bike in the creek to put out the fire. The electronics got wet and the bike wouldn't run correctly. I hope he made it out ok.

I think if you look in the Oxford Dictionary of English, that's the exact definition of the word, "adventure".Originally Posted by Mechanical

You can read all the stories and watch all the videos you want, but there's no substitute for just getting out there and doing it.
