New Member - Sykesville, MD

Post by rclangelan »

Good morning all, new member here, from Sykesville, MD. I used to be a member of the MADRiders (if any of those guys are on here). Been riding street and dirt bikes for many years. Got out of riding for a while to make babies. Mission accomplished, back on the bike. Picked up my first dual-sport bike (CRF250L) late last year. I've already spent an irresponsible amount of money on mods. Feels good. Looking forward meeting up/riding with members from this group.

I've been reading up on the May 20 ride. It's about 2.5 hours from me. I may be able to drive up early Saturday and ride all day. Gotta roll out around 4pm that afternoon for another engagement, but it'd still be worth it.

I used to ride a KTM 200XC-W, but that was dirt-only. For dualsport, I wanted something where my feet would touch with more authority on the street... hence the CRF. I'm 5'4" short. I wish I could sit comfortably on a KTM 450. Still waiting on a growth spurt...

Shoot, I think my old 450 had a seat taller than that :killingme: :jack: :lol2:

I guess I should offer that I'm a normal sized guy - 6'4" :shrug:
