Weekend Warrior
Rick’s story is something we can all relate to.
He works hard during the week to provide for his family. But when the weekend rolls around, he likes to get out and explore the back country on dual sport rides.
Armed with a camera and sense for adventure, Rick joins his SoCal buddies on a search for some amazing trails.
And from the sounds of it, the riding is pretty good in his neck of the woods. In fact, Rick is quick to point out that there is no riding “season” in his area. When the weather is warm, he can ride in the mountains. Cooler weather coupled with moisture provides excellent riding the in low-lying areas.
Dare we say, the best of both worlds? Envious.
PHOTOGRAPHY
No interview would be complete without discussing a bit of photography. Who doesn’t love to ride their motorcycle in beautiful areas & snapping the occasional pic? Rick is no exception.
When asked about video, he mentioned that he prefer stills.
Fair enough.
Working with video can be a huge undertaking when you considering time, storage, software, etc.
KTM 500
Rick chose the KTM 500 to do all of his back country exploring in SoCal. A solid choice no doubt; we both agreed that this may be the most versatile dual sport bike on the planet.
From the open desert to single track trails, the KTM 500 is hard to rival. On the pavement though, neither of us would pick it as our fave. Rick himself is considering a KTM 790 for rides that have more pavement and dirt roads. He was quick to point out that he would be keeping his 500 regardless.
A wise decision, no doubt.
