Hello to all in the forum. I was looking for a place to get information on dual sport riding in Texas and the search led me here. I have been riding a 2002 Suzuki 1500LC Intruder and got the itch for some dirt roads. The LC handles like a pig on ice when you get off the hard surgace. Several freinds have dual sports of various makes. So, I picked up a lightly used 1983 Honda XL600R and thus the journey begins. I'm an experienced street rider but haven't ridden dirt since 1978. I have decent mechanical skills so the old bike doesn't intimidate too much. She runs good for an old machine just needs some general maintenance and a few new parts. I'm better with tools than I am with the computer. How do I put a picture on here? I'm wanting to find information on the good dual sport rides in Texas. Anyway, that's my story and why I'm here. :flip:
 
I saw the instructions for pictures. I'll just attach one of my main ride.

welcome aboard!! :wave:

there's plenty of folks on here into the DS thing (i'm not. yet) I'm sure they'll be along shortly
 
Welcome! This is a great place to be. Someday I will have my BSA finished so that I can take it off the hard pavement! I like the ability to be able to go anywhere as well!

I like the location. When did you go, how long, etc., etc.?

Oh yeah, :welcome:
 
Welcome to the site :wave:

Lots of DS action going on! Just jump down the list to the DS section of the site and you should find plenty to keep you busy ;-)
 
The wife and I met her family up there in June '03. I had the bike for just a couple of weeks, we put her on a trailer and did the break in miles riding around the park. It was an awesome 4 days riding. Definately the best way to do the park as if there was any doubt.
 
Hello Tourmeister. I have been there and it shows some promise. I think I'll do good here. Thanks for riding herd on this bunch. That is a daunting task. I for one appreciate your rules.
 
Mrs. BritishSteele71, My first big street bike was an '83 GL850. Nice bike. I had to give her up when the first kid came along. Just couldn't strap the car seat on the back. I went 15 years without a two wheel ride. Kids grown and I'm back in the saddle again.
