New guy from central Arkansas

[JustCliff]

After attending the Star rally in Kerrville, which I did mostly out of curiosity about MSTA & just have a place to ride to. I liked what I saw, well organized & friendly people. Once I left Kerrville, I rode   over to Big Bend for a couple days & then returned home. Once home I promptly joined MSTA. Since then I've attended one RTE, at which I was surprised at the number of bikes that attended & the distance they some rode.

I'm a long-time rider & my primary ride is a Concours 1400, my riding is primarily travel miles. I occasionally do some off rode on my V-Strom also.

Welcome from South Florida. I was also at the Kerrville STAR, a fun event! Although this year’s event was a smaller crowd than usual it offered plenty to do. Hope to see you next year in Pennsylvania. -JEP-

Welcome Cliff! You may remember me from the COG and ZGGTR forums as lather.   Rode 3 Concours for 275,000 miles over 15 years but they hauled off my last one, totaled, in 2022. I've downsized to a Tracer 9GT and love it EXCEPT for the chain drive. Again, welcome aboard!

I'm not planning to be in PA next year. COG had their National Rally at the same hotel in 2019 & for that reason I'm not going back. The hotel actually ran out food at the Banquet, about 25% of us had to wait an hour + for them to scrounge up some more food. Poor planning on their part or miscommunication on the number of people attending, that I can't answer.  I do plan to attend other MSTA events though.

Yes, I remember you & you're from LA if I remember right. I relayed a message for you once from one forum  to the other.


I'm retired & free to ride most anytime anywhere. I'm not a planner, usually load my camping gear & pick a direction.

No FB for me either, so hopefully plenty of information gets posted here.

Thanks for the welcomes!
