Hello everybody! I'm 50 years old but completely new to the motorcycle world. I completed my Motorcycle Safety Course on March 31st of this year and gathered enough money to buy my first bike this June-a 2009 Suzuki V Strom 650. I spent a bunch of time in parking lots with my new bike, practicing the emergency maneuvers and slow speed skills I learned in the safety course.
Around mid-June, I headed out on a three day trip. I took the back roads from Fort Worth down to Sanderson, Texas, where I then looped back east travelling through Del Rio, Bracketville, up FM-674 (beautiful) past Kickapoo Cavern State Park (unfortunately it was closed), through Rocksprings, and Junction. I spent the night in Menard before heading back home to Fort Worth. It was a great learning experience.
Sanderson, Texas
Somewhere north of Bracketville on FM-674
My whole reason for buying a motorcycle was to travel. Hopefully I'll get to do alot of that this fall. If everything works out, next month I'm going to wander around New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, and Arizona.
