Default First bike in over 30years

I bought a 2009 KLX 250S last summer. It had only 1060 miles on it. I've put about 1200 on it since. I've not ridden since I had a Honda Elsinore 125 just out of high school. I'm hooked! Haven't had it off road yet but I have a friend who knows of some legal trails he will introduce me to in the spring.
I just found this forum. I hope to take away a lot of good info. I'll be looking for upgrades and accessories for my bike. A more comfortable seat for starters.

Welcome to the group. You'll find a lot of members who rediscovered riding after a prolonged absence on here.

Welcome Pedro! (Bet you wish you had that Elsinore again? I hear those are fetching high dollars nowadays...)
Take your time getting your chops back; your brain may remember those skill "circuits," but muscle "memory" doesn't return as quickly.
Lotsa good KLX guys here. Feel free to post up and jump in! Welcome again!
Gear up; stay safe.

I thought I was bad waiting 16 years to hop back on. I got my 2009 KLX250S a little over a year ago and still loving it. It's a great all around kind of bike... until you hit 75mph which always leaves you wanting more. All that goes away as soon as you hit the trails. Welcome to the forum. Lots a great info to be found here.

Riding dual sports... as much fun as you can have with your clothes on, ain't it!
