Returning die-hard

[spklbuk]

From the days of original PDP. I haven't been active here in long while. I looked around and still see some familiar screen names.
T700 has renewed my interest.

Welcome back. The US is still waiting to see the actual T7 that we get, but it's mostly known at this point. Good threads on it here.

 

[spklbuk]

Hey Eric and thanks. Yep to the good threads. I've been lurking/reading for a while now. Wish Mamma Yamma would get on with bringing the goods.

Welcome back!

Bob!
Thank you. Haven't seen you since Birch River. We are long overdue for a rerun.

 

[Don in Lodi]

Great to see you again. Selling the old girl in prep for the next one?

 

[eemsreno]

Nice to see you on here spklbuk, I thought you sold that Tenere a long time ago and only ride that DR650 these days.

 

[Checkswrecks]

Bob!
Thank you. Haven't seen you since Birch River. We are long overdue for a rerun.

That was a great trip and agree that it's been too long. Even if just with the 650 you could join us at the Tenere Rally in Arkansas in April.

There was certainly no lack of memorable excitement that weekend!

Appreciate the invite. Arkansas sounds like a great ride. But I am a sucker for spring gobblers from about April 1- May 15. I hit the pause button on riding even though it means missing prime time. Taking my shotgun for a daybreak walk and giving a bird with a brain the size of a walnut another opportunity to make a fool out of me is the ultimate!

Hey eems. Long time. Thank you sir. I did get very close to selling the S10 once but it didn't happen. If it wasn't getting heavier faster, I'd keep it a while longer. It still makes me smile when aboard. Leaning heavily toward a 3/5 cc Tenere. Sure wish the weight wasn't in the 8/10 range. Time will tell.

Hey there Spklbuk, glad to hear your still chasing the Toms and you still have the S10. I agree with the concept of a lighter ride but just can't justify it now. So I'll hang onto what I have. Good luck with the Gobblers, they can be a challenge.

Thanks TD! I need all the luck I can get with bikes and birds. More so with the birds

Good to hear from you sir!!
