City Slicker 0 Posted February 14, 2009 Hello Fellow SDAR Members, I'm glad to be here, thanks for letting me in. I have been invovled in desert sports for a long time starting with my Jeep when I was 20 in 1988. More recently on my mountain bike, and with my family geocaching. I am looking forward to getting involved with dual sport. I used to have a Harley, but I am sold on the dirt. Gary and the guys at SD BMW have been great to let me demo their bikes a couple of times. Cameron Camp got me started on this crazy adventure. Randy has been helpfull too. I got Moto Toad started and he beat me to a bike. I currently serve on the Santee City Council and have been active with the guys at ORBA and SDORC. Part of my council duties is serving on the Mission Trails and Goodan Ranch Policy committees and I have been working to keep trails open in those two parks for mountian bikers. I am looking forward to fighting to keep the desert open too. The pictures are of me on a 1200GS demo ride in Palm Desert (I'm on the right), and with Gary at last year's Desert Dash (needless to say I am partial to BMW). I had a great time at the Desert Dash last year meeting a lot of you. I'm bummed I'm going to miss it this year, but maybe I'll have a bike by next year. Actually, I already have the Colo ride in my calendar, so I better get one by July. See you on the trail, Brian Jones Husband to one great wife Dad to three adventurous kids Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirt dame 561 Posted February 14, 2009 Welcome aboard. It's never too late to start dualsporting. It'll work better when you have a bike, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TrophyHunter 15 Posted February 14, 2009 Welcome Brian! If memory serves, if you record video of yourself running around the back yard holding imaginary handlebars making Vroooom Vroooom sounds and submit it to this site, a bike will be in your near future. Trust me, it works! I submitted my video to a site I belonged to before and got a bike within a week! If I can find the link, I'll post it here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tlking6 0 Posted February 14, 2009 Welcome Brian, I'm no fortune teller however I predict something plated in your garage in the near future. It could be orange, red, red and white, maybe even blue or green. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tntmo 902 Posted February 14, 2009 Welcome to the group. What kind of dual sport are you in the market for? A smaller machine, or something more along the lines of the GS you did the demo on? See ya on the trail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
City Slicker 0 Posted February 15, 2009 What kind of dual sport are you in the market for? A smaller machine, or something more along the lines of the GS you did the demo on? To be quite honest I think I'm going to need both- smaller 450-650 for desert adventures and 1200GS for longer cross country adventures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
