Hey guys (and girls) my name is Phillip.  I live around the Priceville/Decatur area.  I just purchased a 2016 KLR 650 from kdtrull.  Ken and I go way back, since we are related (cousins).  We actually grew up together, almost like brothers.  It's now come full circle, since I sold Ken my Honda 750 Interceptor way back in the mid 1980's.  I've been out  of motorcycling for some time now.  I grew up riding motorcycles, but haven't ridden for probably close to 30 years.  I started getting the bug to buy a motorcycle.  Ken gave me a taste of riding the KLR last fall, so I decided it was time to ride a DS and explore the back roads and trails.  Looking forward to riding again!

This is that same, beautiful, red, white, and blue Interceptor about 5 days after I sold it to my good buddy way back in 1988 in Rapid City, SD: :'(

Yep, the Interceptor was a cool bike back in it's day.  The crash photo make me cringe!

I am definitely interested in the Dual-Sportin the Free-State ride klaviator.  Bankhead is on the top of my list of first places to ride. Sounds like that would be a good one for a DS newbie like me.

Welcome from Birmingham!  Any cousin of Ken's is a cousin of mine.  Or... something like that.  Glad to have you!
Sounds good except for pretty much everything you said.  ---Brian A

Welcome from a fellow KLR rider in Tuscaloosa. The Free State Ride is a great event. I hope you can make it.
Motorcycling is not, of itself, inherently dangerous. It is, however,  extremely unforgiving of inattention, ignorance, incompetence, or stupidity.

If it don't scare you, you ain't doing it right.

Hey hey hey from the ham area.
We need to get you hooked up with Rob down there. Y'all be careful. I hear that Yankee Florida area can be kinda rough.
