John_Diego 0 Posted November 15, 2008 Hello, I've been riding since I was 15. After several years of not owning a bike I got back into it in 2000 with a 1100 Shadow, then a Valkyrie, and then a ST-1300. Started reading about dual sport and adventure riders and got hooked on the idea, so I got a 2009 KLR650. I took it to an ST-Owners event last weekend at the Salton Sea. A couple of other riders brought their dual-sports so we went for a ride down the Bradshaw trail, 60mi off road for the first time in 30+ years. The odometer turned to 300mi on the KLR during that ride. I have a lot to learn about dirt riding and hope you guys can help me out. Let's Ride, John Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
