Zubb 1061 Posted September 7, 2016 Hi everyone. I'm new to the group and looking forward to meeting other riders and doing some off road. I just sold the Ducati and bought an '04 1150 GS so I could leave the pavement. Look forward to meeting others here and spinning up some miles together. Cheers, Zubb (Kelly) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zubb 1061 Posted September 7, 2016 Good news!! It is sufficiently scarred up as to release me of all guilt when I dump it! And I expect to dump it ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dan Diego 40 Posted September 8, 2016 Welcome aboard, Zubb! I'm also in La Mesa and also dropped by R1150GS a lot. (But I drop all my bikes!) Hope to see you out on the trails! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey777 44 Posted September 8, 2016 You sold a Ducati? "Oh, the humanity!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zubb 1061 Posted September 8, 2016 I'm so ashamed. Truly. But current funds did not permit the inclusion of a second bike in the garage. And I neeeeeeeed to start GSing. Big plans for next summer and fall with my son (also new to GS land). IDBDR and Alaska are on the horizon for us There will always be an Italian corner in my soul. Hope that by late 2017 I can start looking for a '97-00 900SS. That and the GS 'should' make me a very happy boy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bagstr 287 Posted September 9, 2016 Seems to be a good deal of Big Bike action on the site. Look to the Informal Ride Thread and you will make friends. See you around La Mesa. We should have a La Mesa meet-up at Johnny B's sometime. Bagsr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dan Diego 40 Posted September 9, 2016 That's a great idea, Bags. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm planning it. Johnny B's, in La Mesa, Tuesday night next week (27th) at 5pm for the 3B's. Beer, Burgers and Bullsh*t. Anyone want to join me there for a meet and greet is welcome. Not a new rider, just new to GS riding from a street background. I see an 'informal rides' thread but not really an 'informal beer' thread. I think I'll post this on the informal ride page and see if anyone's in the mood to meet and greet. I'll likely be looking for a good day ride the weekend after next but that's another topic.

Dan Diego 40 Posted September 20, 2016 Guilty as charged. But I feel as if I'm in good, er...bad company, with the SDAR crowd. They're a bunch of enablers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
