Hello, adventure riders. My name is John, I'm 57 and I ride an'07 DR 650. It is my first bike, I also ride a '97 Road King. I've had the DR for about 4 years and have done more road than dirt, but really want to work on my dirt skills and leave the pavement behind more. I met Dan rider at his day job and he encouraged me to join. I'd like to join some easy day rides to work on those skills. I'm also interested in learning more about buying and using a GPS that's suited to the purpose. Thanks for the encouragement and knowledge base. I look forward to meeting up and riding.
