Count me!
Except for a Virago I owned for a while, I rode Dual Sport bikes all my life.
Not a lot of off-road, though. I just like the style and to know that I can ride on any terrain if I have to.

When I bought my current bike, it was located in Oklahoma City, 1,200 miles from Tampa Bay where I lived at the time.
I flew to OKC and rode the bike back home. Since was going to do 1200 miles, I decided to do the first 1,000 in less than 24 hours to get
the IBA certificate.
I left OKC after lunch, stopped about every 200 miles for gas, water and a snack, and made one big stop somewhere in MS for dinner and about 5 hours of sleep. I arrived 15 minutes before the time.
The guy who sold me the bike was my start witness, but I felt a little hesitant to try and find a finish witness on the spot, so I contacted an IBA volunteer in the area, who met me at a gas station. I definitely recommend that.
It's one of those things that seem pointless, along the way you ask yourself "why am I doing this?...", but afterwards you feel great that you did!
Good luck!

Hello, Ohio riders!
I just moved to Athens, from flat and boring Florida...
I'm looking forward to ride the roads of Southeast Ohio and region.
Take care!
