Description:
I now ride a '01 DS650 stage 2 with lots of extras, bought it new in January of '01.I've been riding since 3-wheelers were still made, I was born in '72 so I got to see it all as it developed. My favorite retro-ride is the 350X.I'm an Industrial Maintenance Technician in the fields of electronics, fluid power systems, industrial mechanics, instrumentation and predictive maintenance. Bike maintenance is a blast and very much enjoyed, I do all my own motor work. Its my favorite thing to do next to actually riding.I live in Indiana and ride at Badlands Offroad Park the most, with occasional trips to Haspin Acres, Wabash River Bottoms, and a few other local spots. These places offer pretty much every kind of terrain there is including GNCC style woods trails, rocks and boulders, roots and ruts, creeks and mudholes, nasty steep hill climbs, and even lots and lots of sand - which I spend more than half my time.I make at least 2 trips a year to Silver Lake Michigan Dunes, and one big dunes trip somewhere on the other side of the Mississippi once a year. Prior trips included Little Sahara OK, Little Sahara UT, and St. Anthony ID. Future plans include Walden, Rock Springs, all the Oregon dunes, and of course California.Pics below, I've done some things since they were taken, updates to come.
