'Lo all.
What a great site this is. I just had to join, and introduce myself.
I bought my first bike (a 2008 KLR, a little over 5 months ago), although the biking bug bit me in September last year when a few friends and I did our first 'tour' from Knysna and into the Klein Karoo (I rented a Dakar for that). I dig tarred country roads, but gravel is where it's really at for me... and the green KLR (which I've now dubbed "the paddasaki"...).
I'm quite amazed at how much like family all the guys (and gals!) I meet on the road are. At 34 years young my only regret is that I didn't get into it sooner.
Anyways, I hope to share some great riding stories, photos and trips in the near future.
Cheers
And thanks again for a great site.
