Anybody live out west?(McMinnville area)

I have been trying to sell my ATV to buy a dual sport but finally decided I couldn't wait any more so I picked up a cheap KLR to get started on.

I just got my permit and was wondering if there is anybody out my way that wouldn't mind a new rider tagging along. I'm 5 miles from hundreds of miles of logging roads. I have been on quads my whole life and dirtbikes on and off but have zero road experience.

I have the bike all torn apart now but should be road worth after this weekend.

Hey Ken,
Congrats on the new ride! Along with your post here, I suggest also posting over at the Oregon_DSR site and the OMRA Message Board also. You're lucky you live so close to the good riding!

Thanks. I'll check them out. I'm not real impressed with the KLR so far but it will get me through the summer at least. It sure isn't an XR but it is legal so I can't complain much.

Hey, for what they were designed for (long gravel road trips or pavement stints), they're awesome. Do not take them on much trail though.
