I'm near NW 63rd & May. I went for a nice ride yesterday around Lake Hefner and Draper. I recently purchased a nice Shoei helmet from Cycle Gear up on the NW Expressway near May.
Are there still tons of trails around Draper Lake? My dad & I used to ride our dirt bikes around through those woods back in the early to mid 70's (kinda' dates me...). Just wondering. I'm in South Texas now, looking for other riders and areas to ride.
I doubt it. I went through there on mine a few weeks ago as I was headed back to Texas. I seen a KLR as I passed through Clinton that had what looked like white metal panniers and met a guy in Elk City that said he had a Gen 1 and he had a coworker that bought a 2012.
I'm here in Clinton. No trails to speak of at draper except at the controlled riding area. Probably a bit too tight to enjoy on a big bike though. I used to take my crf250x there. The old trails around the lake and north to the highway are now for mountain bikers.
Do any of you OKC guys remember Buck's Yamaha, located at 6501 N. May? I was service manager back in the mid 70's. Owned by Jim Maxey at the time. I visited OKC a couple of years ago, and the shop is still there, but is now something other than motorcycles.
I was just literally in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge. Did a 50-mile round trip from Lawton to Indiahoma, through the Job Corp section of the "mountains" into Cache, and then back home. I'll probably be by the Meers area pretty often. Let me know if you'd like to ride sometime.
Here's mine. I haven't seen many dual sports of any kind much around Lawton myself.
Edit: Not sure why the picture didn't show up when I posted it from the Motorcycle.com app. But I can't seem to link the pic from my Photobucket album either because I have less than 15 posts :t1202:
It is still Winter, even down there. I'm sure there are MANY KLR riders down there.

There is another very recent 2022 owner/new member, but I can't remember his name.
