ABOUT ME
I’ve been riding my 650GS for a couple of years now. Always want to do more riding, but I head up into the foothills and mountains around Denver, and ride to work as often as possible.

Good choice Ray. I took the MSF course a year ago--that's how I started riding. It was a great course; I would probably benefit from a refresher now that I've been riding for a year.
