Thanks, Stefan. I appreciate the welcome.

Thanks, Mak10. That's some pretty country you have to ride in.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look them up. Definitely using the DR for any training!

Thanks, G! I lived on Bainbridge Island for a little while, and I still spend a lot of time up there.

Congrats on the new ride. Your DR looks like it was in great shape. I'll bet the new owner will enjoy it. I recently decided that I just couldn't part with mine. I even had a chance to pick up one of the new Tenere 700's. (it was at the dealer with my name on it!). I bailed out when I...
