Hi everyone, my name is Dave.
I’m a keen road rider looking at moving across onto a dual sport for some off road action, and exploring some of the paths less ridden.
I met Struckey at the Sydney motorcycle expo over the weekend at the Adventure Moto stand, he was kind enough to spend some time and explain a few things to me, and put me onto this forum.
I’m looking for a DR650 as something easy to ride, easy to fix, and reasonably cheap to setup for long range touring. My longer term plans are a trans-Australia trip including the Simpson Desert next year, and maybe something longer range the year after that 
Anyway, I’ll be lurking the forum and getting ideas on setup etc, and hope to come on a few group rides for some practice!
