flyintiger 0 Posted March 15, 2017 Morning Everyone, My name is Jordan, I'm 31 years old and I just purchased an '04 KLR 650. I am native to San Diego, located in Normal Heights and been riding on the street for about 10 years. This is my first dual sport bike and I have zero dirt riding experience. Looking for advice on riding techniques and nearby locations to get started, figured this forum would be a good place to start! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

meatmord 0 Posted March 15, 2017 Yes. This is the same condition in which i joined this club except my bike was the piggy crf250l. My first ride was pine valley cul de sac with many of the sickos on this site. Life changing. Good stuff. If you just say you are going there at such and such time, they'll show up. I think its a great place for first ride. Others may disagree. I got a new orange dual sport which is still too pretty for the dirt. But by April she'll be ready. brap.

wildwood 11 Posted March 15, 2017 Welcome Jordan. That looks like a good bike to start into DS. You won't be sorry you went off road. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
