ABOUT ME
Hello everyone! Welcome to my page. I have finally completed a year of riding and what a year it has been. Last year when I started this page, I wrote that I had hoped to make it to a rally or two in North Carolina and maybe somewhere in Virginia or Maryland. Well, neither one of those happened. What I could not have imagined a year ago is that I would ride across the country to Texas and then into Mexico…and back!!! I just turned 15000 miles on the old odometer and I hope the winter months won’t slow me down much. I have managed to go off road some in Virginia and while I was down in Mexico. I’m looking forward to some more and (gulp) to the release of the new 800GS. I will say this though, I love my 650 and it’ll take a lot to get me to replace it. Will 150cc and about 30 more hp do the trick? We’ll see. Be safe everyone and please feel free to say hi anytime you happen by…

Hi everyone...I hope you've all had a good weekend. I have arrived safe and sound in Knoxville, TN. Nothing too strange about that except that I had planned to bed down in Huntsville, AL after a short ride. Well, the "short ride" out of Arkansas turned ... Read more

Any advice to get me away from the boredom of I-10 is more than welcome! I haven't been on my bike in almost four weeks. I don't think I am going to shy away from a few extra miles!!! Thanks Deb and Red!

Greetings All,
This is my first post to the forum. I was waiting to post something worthwhile. Well, I think I finally got something. I bought my GS a year ago this month. I will be celebrating the anniversary by completing a ride I started back in August. I started out in Alexandria, Virginia on August 15th and a week later was in El Paso, TX and two days after that in Santa Barbara, Chihuahua, Mexico. We used to visit this small mining town every sum...
