Hi. Brand new member (and new TX resident) in central TX, gathering information and looking to possibly get my first bike. Very late to the party, 50 yr old. Researching the DR650 as my first bike for mostly 1/2 to full day back road/adv. riding (FM, old asphalt, gravel, dirt, double track). Maybe some easy cross country/single-track eventually and commuting on good weather days on smaller roads & hi-ways once I'm more experienced. No interstate. Been a bicyclist (road and MTB) for many years, but that's the closest I've been to this new interest. Ridden a MC on only a few occasions so pray for me LOL.
Got an ICON Airflite helmet in mind and looking at MC training courses now also.
Any advice on bikes, gear, routes, training academies, is appreciated.
