I don't think I've ever been on ADV, but the jaded attitude isn't surprising, given that "ADV riders" tend to be older, and plus it's a very technical, gear-driven activity, so newbs probably ask the same questions over and over about what to buy, how to pack, etc.

True.

I hang out with a lot of ADV people on a regular basis.

So far, the only real dick in the bunch is me.

Predictable, but entertaining none the less
