Greetings from Central California

I have had to pleasure of riding this great bike since I took delivery in Early August. I have been riding for 52 years and owned many bikes during this period. This XR ranks at the top and has been an extremely exciting bike to ride. I am hanging on to the 14 GSA for the overall ability to do everything on and off road that I ask, but the XR rules supreme for the paved roads.

I look forward to learning from others with experience on this bike and will try to contribute something useful in return.

Thanks for the welcome guys. I have lived here for a bit over 30 years and have enjoyed many great roads over that time. You are right, the riding is great here unless you like stop and go and congestion. Two stop lights in the entire Kern Valley and not many stop signs. It's always nice to be home after a ride. Let me know if you plan to ride in this area, I may be able to help with some interesting rides.
