Hello from semi-hot Az, been watching the forum for sometime..
-a little info abt me!
-Been riding bikes since the early '60.
-Had way too may motorbikes, BMW's Triumph's, BSA's Honda, Husky, Grrves, DOT and Bultaco, just to name a few.
-Have ridden in cross-country desert races, enduro's and trials also general sport touring and dual sport.
-Spent the summer of 2007 riding full time on a BMW K1200GT.
-Mostly worked as a communications network engineer.
-Also work the last few years at a Yamaha/KTM shop, wrench (dyno tuning and fuel infection reprogramming) and finance / insurance guy (F&I), also sales.
-Am lucky to be able to ride my WR on field trips when working as an engineer (currently).
-Have about 18K miles on my WR, always run perfect, stock engine but lots of saddle bags, use them to haul my travel things and or my computer, GPS's, range finder laser, field notes, etc..
-I generally ride the KTM on longer trips, have 32K miles on that bike!
-Have spent week trips on the WR camping, thru Montana and BC...
-Am planning to ride the WR to SoCal next weekend, 700 mile round trip.
-That's enough, blah blah.
-Glad to be part of your forum!
