Gave up my Harley and bought a Ktm 1190 adventure big bike, going to be a challenge to control this beast. Love to ride though

Welcome from over by Mt. Peak Water's office. Hope you like your KTM. I've got about 500 miles on my first KTM, an 890 Adventure R.
Jarret have you heard of any DS rider groups here in ellis co since you closed yours down?. He'll wait for you at the next intersection.
Trust me on this

I haven't. There are a couple of Ellis County Harley groups on FB, but nothing for ADV/DS rides that I know of.

& enjoy!
I wouldn't mind starting an Ellis County Facebook group with one or two other admins involved.
And @falck4, I just did an off-roading course with Bill Dragoo from DART in the Ozarks, including an immersion tour.
One of the guys was a retired motor officer who had been on Harleys for most of his carrier. He had just bought a 1290 and learned a new set of skills for off-roading that helped him tremendously with the transition. Point is that riding that KTM of yours off-road, the fun-per-mile ratio will go way up with a class or two from Bill Dragoo.

Go ahead and get that fb started. I think you can add the extra site monitor's any time.I wouldn't mind starting an Ellis County Facebook group with one or two other admins involved.

Might be able to contact some of the old ellis county adventure and dual sport rider folks. Jarret left the sight up but no new posts can be added.
Alright, it's up: https://www.facebook.com/groups/elliscountydsadvriders
I set up some basic aspects of the group and for the moment it is private. Once we have more admins we can decide to open it up to the public. Is anyone interested to join as an admin?

Oh pleasssseeeee. It's not like you didn't heal up or anything. Anyway, I'm probably slower on the new 890 Adventure R anyway.If you go ride with @MacDaddy no matter how fast he goes, resist the temptation to try and keep up.
Just take it slooooow for a while. He'll wait for you at the next intersection.

I just tried to join up and got this im not real tec savy so maybe messes something up. That's why im not volunteering to be an administrator.
Welcome! Midlothian here as well.
Tim, a couple of things can prompt this to happen.
If you log into Facebook with your phone number instead of your email address, there are reports out there that FB frowns upon it, especially if you have additional security set up in the form of a virtual private network (VPN). Your phone carrier may have made this option available to you, but it seems to mess with FB's desire to track your every move.
Another one to check is to log in with your email address from a desktop or laptop browser rather than your mobile phone.
Hey, it only takes like 3 seconds to kick someone off!I just joined. Took like 3 seconds to get approved (Thanks Jurgen) but you really do need higher standards.
Thanks, took a couple tries, reset password and all good.
Post a picture of your bike when you can. Welcome aboard!
