Title: Hello from S. Mpls
Post by: Grainbelt on September 09, 2011, 12:44:31 PM

Been back in MN for a year, met a lot of riders, but mostly LD and ADV types, not too many that sport tour the way I'm accustomed to. I have logins under this name at ADV and S-T.N, you may have seen me there. Ray pointed me over here from S-T.N the this week.

Currently on an '06 FZ6, been riding for a little over six years, started on a GS500, then a Ninja 650R, played in a little dirt on a DR650. Turning 30 in a few months. Not sure what to think about that last bit.  :o

Here's a pretty typical ride for me, out eating up the sweepers in SE MN.

Look forward to meeting some more local riders!

I've been meaning to go to one of these for a while. Probably get there about 10. Look for a short asian guy on either a Ducati 916 or a Ninja 1000 with bags.

According to your signature, people like you!   :D

I met a bunch of folks from ADVrider, and thru them, some people from MNLDR, GLMC, and Team Strange. Lots of crossover between the groups.
