My name is Kyle, and I drank the orange kool-aid ten years ago. I race local motocross and national enduros/GNCCs. I am 20 years old. 4 months ago I was riding my 08 Duke 690 taking my girlfriend home when a drunk driver ran through an red light and hit us. Breaking 18 of my bones, including my back and legs. And even more in my girlfriends body. We both, are upright and walking now. God is good. So with my beloved Duke gone I needed a replacement. Last week I purchased an 08 SDR. She's everything the old Duke was plus some. Plenty of useable power from idle to redline. *Spoiler alert* I do work at a local stealer. But I'm not in it to make money, if I was, I'd get a real job. Lol I just love riding. I'm always open to riding with new people and finding new roads so if you're close, let me know! Keep her rubber side down!

Welcome in Kyle. Thats a hell of a intro. I'm not sure where to go from there. I started reading and thought here we go again, another spanking new 1290 spoilled rotten looser jumps on board, only to find out its a kid built from the ground up on the two wheeled entertainment.
Enjoy your new ride and take care of the three of you.

Welcome! As said above, that's one he'll of an intro story. Glad you both are doing well. Being in SE Ohio, we may cross paths one day. I'm in SW VA. I'm sure there are some fun twisties between here and there!

Welcome and good to hear you both recovered ok from and idiots work!
