Introduction - Jon (younixguru)

[younixguru]

Hi all, just a quick intro.  I am probably the "odd" one on the site, I am a flatlander (live in Sioux Falls).  I am pretty new to Dual sport riding, I am a 20 year recovering Harley Addict!  I love this class of motorcycles and plan to stick with it!  I am selling my BMW F650GS Dakar and looking and maybe moving to a v-strom or even a KLR ( i know its not bigger).  Anyway I look forward to maybe attending some rides in the hills, I go out there 5 or 6 times a year and at least a few on the bike.

Hi Jon,  There's lots of flatlanders here.  On a more serious note, why in the world would you want to SELL YOUR DAKAR!!!!! 

[younixguru]

I love it and all, just kinda want something different.  I ride it every day since its been so nice.  Looking to get something a little newer maybe.  Great bike though!  It was a bit windy on the way home from work tonight!!

Welcome Jon,
I too am in the flatlands 65 miles to the West in Mitchell. Great bunch of guys in the group. Maybe as we get more of us East River guys we'll have to plan more local rides.

Welcome Jon!  Is your handle a ref to Unix?

v-strom or even a KLR

Welcome Jon!

Can't go wrong with either of those bikes!

Hi from another Eastern SD flatlander!  Hope to see you in June.  Welcome!

[plumber mike]

Is there any riding out in the flatlands? enough to gather out there? The hills are wonderful but would like to do something different. Maybe the badlands of ND?

Anyway- Welcome Jon

I think the V or Wee would be good for more highway, and the KLR a better choice to throw down on trails, but that Dakar falls right between the two.

An ex Harley guy might like a Dirt/Sportster (like RTWDoug on ADV)

The ND badlands might be really fun.. maybe some of our No-dakkers can chime in.

I posted a few eastern SD pics (Lee's pics) here:
