Title: New to the forum...
Post by: BKStewart on September 26, 2015, 08:55:37 AM
Hello,

My name is Brian and my buddy KDTrull has been a member here for a while.  I've visited the site as a guest many times to enjoy his ride reports and pictures.  I decided to get off the sidelines and join.

Below is my ride.  It's a 2007 XR650L.  I don't get to ride as much as I want (like everyone else I guess  :)), but I typically hit the dirt roads around Cullman, Marshall and Blount counties.

Man...good to see you here and glad you finally made it.
Hope we get to ride soon.  Maybe you can teach me how to climb a hill.  ;D

Found a couple more pictures from not long after you got the XR:

Welcome from Danville!! 

If I ever get to ride again, maybe you can show me some easy stuff around Cullman. I am a newb to dirt on a KLR650.  I'm slow and cumbersome, but like riding around easy dirt roads. 

Anyway, Welcome to the forum!!

Tim

Welcome to the forum. The more you put in the more you get out.

All...I can say is it must have been one heck of a hill!  Ken can wheelie up stuff I wouldn't even try.

XR650s will climb as long as there is traction :) Welcome to the forum.
