I have had a motorcycle off and on for 40+ yrs. I bought a dual sport in Sept of 03, a 625 KTM EXC. If you are going to do it do it right!!. ..I found your forum and it seems you have alot of good members.
Saw my neighbors' bike in his drive and stopped and reintroduced myself and we have gone on a couple of quick rides. We can ride from our houses and get some good rides.
I look forward to more when I get back to town. I have to go and work in Montana for a month or so.
I will be leaving the KTM home so I will have to settle for the DR 400.
It will spoil you up there 400 yards to the dirt and the shortest route to town will put 80+ miles on your bike in the dirt. I will be going on a lot of rides and fishing because there is not too much hunting this time of year. Look forward to some rides with all of you since it is more fun to ride in a group.
