Adventure Bike Rider

Hi all,

I recently discovered the ABR magazine and in turn the website, which has captured my imagination.

I'm working as a seaman, so I dont get out on my bike as much as I'd like to.

My steed of choice is my 9 YO Indian Classic Enfield,that I bought new in 2003.

Most of my adventures, consist of a few days camping and hostelling around the back roads & green lanes of Ireland.

I've made a few mods to the old girl to help her run better over our rough Highways & Byways:

- Extra tooth on Drive Sprocket, to give better cruising speed.
- Softer front springs, I only weigh 62 kgs.
- Slightly longer & softer Hagon Rear Shocks.
- Bigger jets in carb.
- Less restrictive exhaust.
- 7.62 Ammo Boxes bracketed to rear carrier, carrying, footpump, tools, cables, etc.
- 20 Ltr Tank, for some extra range.

I cant by any stretch of the imagination, call myself a serious ABR, however I look forward to reading all your stories and adventures.

Ride Safe all.

John.
