Welcome. We have a small, but very enthusiastic contingent of dual sporters, and I'm happy to try to include myself in that category. I rode my BMW F650GS (thumper), to Alaska on an 19,000 round trip in 2014, and camped the vast majority of the time. Yeah, I know the F650GS is more of a small adventure bike than a real dual sport, but my DR650 fills the other end of that spectrum for me.
Having a wide variety of interests in bikes is one of the things I like so much about this association. At our rallies we ride what and where you want during the day and then come back to socialize with friends at night.
Consider coming to one of our informal "just-for-fun" weekend events with no membership required. Once you've gotten to know us a bit, you'll be ready to sign up for one of our official weekend events or our national rally, STAR, for which you need to be a member of the association.
As we say...come for the rides and stay for the friends.
