Laugh Closer to ditchin' the 'n00b' handle

Hey guys,

I've been more lurker than contributor simply because until yesterday I rode a cruiser. I've always been a dual sporter at heart though. Well all that changed upon bringing home a new Bee-Strom.

Only part that sucks, as y'all know, is that the weather is a little worse then yesterday. Hope to see y'all around sometime.

Yup, that means our own Tramontana is already too drunk to get up off the barkalounger, much less stay on his feet long enough to find the kitchen.....

Another DL-650 pretending it can be a dual sport...




I would point out that I have TKC-80's and even then, some d00d on a KLR was able to pass through that.

Dual Sport

Yea, I agree with Geek.....Dualsport is a term describing the rider more than the bike!
