Dual-Sport/Adventure

Some AMA members love splitting their time riding on the road and off, on the same trip. These photos show why. (Send your photos to submissions@ama-cycle.org.)

"A photo is of my son, Ted Tackett, on his 2008 Triumph<br />
Scrambler. He rode the Scrambler on the AMA Dual Sport ride at Whiskey<br />
Creek, Mich. The event was sponsored by the Great Lakes Dual Sporters, of<br />
which Ted and I are members. Seeing the big "old" Triumph cruising down the<br />
two-tracks of Northern Michigan brought back many memories of the good old<br />
days for the, um, more senior members. Younger members just shook their<br />
heads when told about the old days when Triumphs, BSAs and the like were<br />
common off-road rides. They had no desire to trade there DRZ's in for an old<br />
TR-6." - Charlie Tackett of Kalamazoo, Mich.
