Greetings from Seattle, WA. Mike and Aillene here. Just took delivery of our 2nd Sportsmobile, 2500 Series Diesel Sprinter 4x4, 170WB, High Roof. Bought our first one in 2007. Had a Hummer H1 before that (mid-life crisis, forgive me). Also have four adventure touring sidecars, all BMWs, two here at home, a third stored in Germany, and the last in Japan.

Welcome to Overland Bound, @MMPaull, from up North in Whatcom County where it is even more NorthWET! That is one awesome looking Sportsmobile and it sounds like you are well versed on how to put it to good use. The US NorthWest region of Overland Bound is glad to have you in our community. To find out more about what is going on in this area you can check out the regional forum [link]. As events are planned, they are usually put up on the Rally Point system [link], so you might want to keep an eye on that as well.

Anyway, I look forward to getting a chance to meet you in person and share some awesome experiences and stories. If you need anything, don't hesitate to send me a message on the forums, @Jedi.

Hello Mike & Aillene , welcome to the OB crew. Great looking rig and look forward to seeing your build and your adventures. Absolutely love the bikes. If you're ever in the central Oregon area just reach out my PNW neighbor.

Thanks for the kind invite. may take you up on that someday. Have other friends in your area! I'm surprised at the dearth of 2-wheel and 3-wheel adventure bikes/sidecars here, though of course those forums are well represented elsewhere.

Hi Mike,
Did we meet years ago in Bellingham back when you had your Hummer? I'm still driving and overlanding in my 1996 Hummer.
Cheers,
-Matt

Hey Matt, indeed we did! Perhaps when we had our carvan lined up at the Alaska Ferry System terminal for our Alaska tour?

Yup, that was it. Good to bump into you again. Maybe we'll see each other on the trail one of these days. Do you ever get over to the Olympic Peninsula or up into BC?
