Howdy , My name is Derek and I have converted....... I rode dirt bikes in South Africa for many years then started on Harleys when I moved here in 1994. I have and still wrench on bikes and have owned many harleys and dirt bikes. I currently have a 2007 streetglide , 2004 xr250, 2003 xr650l that I supermotoed as well as a suzy 125. I have just purchased a 2012 Raven Tenere that has been well farkled and can't get off her. I continuously try and find reasons to ride but am flat out, so I ride anyway.... I really enjoy the bells and whistles this bike has to offer. I am also looking forward to learning and maybe contributing to this site if I can. I am in San Marcos Texas and always have an open door to fellow riders. Be it for a beer or a bit of wrenching. Thanks for having me.

Welcome from Graham, TX. Used to paddle the San Marcos river a good bit when the Guadalupe wasn't flowing. Bought a few canoes and kayak's from the livery there, can't remeber the name though. Enjoy the Tenere!

Carrot, that sounds great. I have been through Lockhart often. I have a senior and freshman at Navarro and they play basketball against y'all. We should hook up sometime and maybe you could introduce me to a few of your rides. For years I have ridden the hill country and Fredricksburg area on harleys and am looking forward to on/off roads and trails.

Sounds great and I will try and not hold it against you when we meet. I take it you do a bit of dirt riding based on the k60's ?
Looking forward riding with y'all.

::004:: from Iowa! There's quite a few Texans, some right up I35 from Fort Worth, heading to the big annual Super Tenere rally in Arkansas this year. Campfires, beer, and beating the Tenere are all that's on the agenda if you can swing the time off!

Derek, greetings from Fort Worth. As Karson said, come join in Arkansas. Should be good times. Some of us beat on our Teneres more than others. ::)

Looking forward to hooking up. When is the Arkansas bash, and do you allow harleys? I have a few Mates that need a bit of cool aid and maybe I can convince them that there is another world out there other than Harley land. Thanks for all the welcomes.
