    There may be a good job opportunity coming up near Manhatten that I may take. Anyone know anything about the area? Any good riding?
    Thanks

    Call Letko's (Big KTM Dealer) in Kansas City, Kansas. They told me where to go riding/clubs when I lived in KC. There was a nice state riding park that I rode all the time in Perry.

    I grew up in western Kansas/eastern Colorado. The Manhattan area at least has trees and a big college. Ft. Riley is just to the west. Very big emphasis on agriculture in that whole region. Some of the nicest strangers I've ever been around were Kansans. Don't know about the riding opportunities but I bet it's a bit of a drive for the nearest Husky dealer. You will definitely have all 4 seasons in force out there!

    Hey Rob,
    We have lots of great riding here in Kansas, I live in Emporia and have a 09 TE610. Just to the south of Manhatten is the Flinthills, there are miles of dirt and gravel roads through open pasture land. You might want to check out this site http://www.backroadstouring.org/kansas/index.htm to see some of the group rides that are available. Give me a yell if you relocate and we will ride.

    I've gotta get a DS bike... I did some checking looks I could keep myself busy for awhile out there. Will know in a few weeks what's happening
