Welcome to the Rider forum!
Searching for roads paved with Asphalt, unless I am riding the mighty DR650 bushpig.

Re: A FNG Again
I think you will like the upgrade to the 21st Century! Welcome, and next time I'm in Spearfish, I'll collect on the beer. You can do the same if you're ever east in PA.
It's a good day to ride
