Well here goes. I am an absolute n00b to El Paso, to dual-sport riding, and to motorcycling. I am an Army guy currently deployed to Africa. The deployment is coming to an end and my next duty station is Ft. Bliss. I should be there by the end of June. Meanwhile I bought a 2007 BMW F650GS over the internet (sight unseen) with the grand plan of learning to ride it, practicing a lot, taking a few courses and then in the summer of 2015 to ride the Trans Labrador with a close friend of mine who changed my mind about this motorcycling business. If all goes well, maybe we will do the TAT in 2016.
My hobbies include classic cars and working on them (comes with the territory since my daily driver is an old British car). I could easily see getting into repairing motorcycles too and maybe collecting some interesting ones. More bikes fit in the garage than cars.
I hope to meet some folks on here and in real life that can teach me the necessary riding skills, introduce me to the great trails, and give me a sounding board for nutty ideas (such as buying a bike over the internet and riding the Trans Labrador).
I am not going to share a picture of the bike, because I still have not seen it myself, so you can rib me all you want. Hope to see you out on the trails and roads.
