I thought I would say hello. I was a lurker as I gathered info about a few bikes I was interested in purchasing last year and finally signed up. Met more than a handful of you in person already, bought three bikes off the forum so far (trying not to buy inroads dr350), went to a lunch meeting and it's been a hoot. :rider:

Riding a butt ugly KLR with a massive oil leak and Sodapops old V-Strom he let me have at the moment. Just gave the DRZ to a buddy who had his dr650 stolen........so I guess I need that dr350 :giveup:

I'm a full-time photographer, have a rad dog and enjoy a good plate of BBQ.

You can check out the most recent photos on the 'ol instagram account if you're bored. Some motorcycle stuff on there from time to time: www.instagram.com/texaspatrick

Signed up to do a couple rides here in the Austin area, so hopefully I'll see more of y'all out there soon!
 
Nice to have ya around. We met at lunch a couple of weeks ago, you showed up to see Robb's bike.

There's a few photog's here, I dabble a bit but more are into it leaning toward professional.

If you go through bikes as quickly as Kurt then you have competition.
 
Welcome to the forum. :wave: And thank you for calling the KLR butt ugly instead of the VStrom. That may be a first around here. :mrgreen:
 
I chose to leave that comment/topic alone.
 
An official Welcome, Patrick!

The mesh jacket you PIF'd and I snagged is working out wonderfully for Mexico. Thanks Thanks again.

Hope to ride w/you soon
 
Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder, right?

I've seen a couple of ride reports with some really nice photos on here. Hoping to do the same soon. I took my first long ride on the KLR a couple months ago through Arkansas (3 days, few hundred miles of dirt/TAT) and hardly had any photos to show from it. Gotta remember to stop and take it in on the way.

Glad it is seeing some use @ SpiritAtBay! I nabbed a Joe Rocket mesh that is just a hair too big. Can't seem to find a jacket that fits just right!

Anyway, what kind of oil should I use?
 
Oil, let's see...

I picked up a refurbished Olympus rugged camera, it's what I take on the bike. Have extra batteries. The camera is colored red so it's easy to find. A few of us are heading to east Texas in a month so it'll be in the tank bag and at the ready.

Going back to Arkansas and Big Bend are on my wish list.
