Just wanted say hello, I just joined the forum. I am waiting for my first Beta to arrive at the dealership. I bought a 2021 200RR and am from mid Michigan, a 63 yr old guy. I have not hit the single track in last 5 yrs and always owned KTM. Went to ADV riding on a GS 1200 which is going in on trade. Hope I can contribute some of my knowledge and experience here and learn a lot as well. Thanks for letting me in.

Thanks for the welcome hoping unlike oldman I am not waiting for months. Dealer has had one coming since December 4 and did not mention any issue with delays.

Fenderworks I see you live in Pueblo. I have a son and his wife who live there. He has a WR 250 Yamaha he doesn't ride much, if any works hard. Daughter in Englewood. I went out on the road bike last summer to see him and ride up Pikes peak, and attend a rally in Dolores. Love Colorado wanted to move there bit to expensive for my blood.

I let my son know he has someone near him who rides. He has a WR250 and has not ridden in a long time. Maybe if you coax him a bit he would go out and ride. He is in West Pueblo, just off 25.
