Default Just thought I'd say hello...

It's been awhile and thought I'd just stop by. After I sold my bike, I only went three weeks and had to get something to ride. I still am not riding as much so I went with a dual purpose bike. I actually rode about 200 miles today with some of my Harley buds and yes they actually let me ride with them. Had a good time.

Hope you all are doing well. So if you are in the NC mountains, I may be in the yellow jeep, or my little KLR650.

Is it a touring bike if it has a fairing?

Ride safe...

I have been looking to add to my stable. I like to ride the forest roads and 2 tracks in upper MI. I really like the KLR. I have been watching advrider for used ones. Now I just have to convince the wife we need a new bike more than a new stove. lol
