About Me
I'm retired and very much enjoying it.
I currently have 4 bikes: 2021 - Tenere 700, a 2011- Harley Road Glide, a 2006 - Harley Electra Glide and a 1980 (80") Harley Shovelhead.
I'm sure like most of us, I rode dirt bikes in my teens through my mid to late 20's. Got married had kids and riding was out. In the 90's, I got my first Harley and have been doing cross county rides since then (from 98 till the pandemic hit - I have 300K miles of traveling on my Harleys). In those travels, many times in the mountains, the road I was on would turn to dirt - thus stopping me there. I got the Tenere 700 so I don't have to stop any longer.
I'm looking to meet people to ride with locally or wherever...I'm retired. I would like to ride BDR's, TAT and the continental divide trail. I find it's little tough going out by yourself and practice, worried about a crash - with people along, it'll take some of the stress out and it makes it fun.
Since it's been 35-40 year since I was riding in the dirt, I'm a beginner/novice at the off-road stuff, but I don't want to be that for long. I've taken a couple of training course to get the basic's down - now I need to get out and gain experience.
Looking forward to meeting other riders in the area.
