Duplessis 0 Posted May 7, 2010 So about two and a half years ago I bought one of the last new f650gs Dakar's thinking that I would make my way into adventure riding, but uncle Sam had other plans for me and instead i spent most of the last two years out of the US. I don't really have much experience on the dirt, my bike has 2000mi on it and not even a hundred are dirt. That statement requires a drastic change and I can't wait to get my feet wet. I gotta tell you I'm very excited to be here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paulmbowers 236 Posted May 7, 2010 Welcome! As part of my new, kind approach: You can ride like BikeSlut if you wish, but it's not recommended. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
