Good evening all. Name's Rich and I've been riding street bikes off and on since 1985. Got to the wide open spaces of AZ and rediscovered a taste for dual sport riding. Rather than drop a ton on a Japanese bike (I've no issues with them) to find out I don't like, or can't ride off road well, I researched and picked up a Hawk 250DLX a few weeks ago.

I am impressed with how far these have come (was an MC mechanic in 2010's and the Chinese bikes were not what they are now) and I look forward to some adventures and conversation.

My point here is to help where I can, learn where I must and enjoy the fellowship of like minded (and wallet-ted) folks. Hoping to find options so the Mrs (5'4") can experience the same fun down the road.

Thanks for having me and I hope everyone has fun and stays safe.

Shiny side up Y'all
