    Finally took my license test this morning. In keeping with the theme, here's my own brown GS850G halfway on a gravel boat ramp (it's a dirt bike if I say it is...lol).

      Here's my GS850G doing the country dirt and gravel roads today around here. It's not my KLR, but with that Shinko 705 rear, it's a little more sure footed for a big old piggy bike. This was the smoother section. I'll be wanting to try out your woods bike one of these days. Is the burnt out covered bridge still out of commission? Maybe you can ford the brook with the woods bike?

      Bridge is still out
      It's a full on river deep enough for boats so I don't think any MC could traverse the that!
      Anytime your in the area let me know!!! Always welcome to give the little TUX a run!
      Glad to see you like the 850! How's the power for the displacement? Glad your putting the 705 to work! The 700 on the TUX is a dang nice tire!

          Planning on it Doug! I've been riding in the woods and it's finally clicking. This mud dirt treking through the woods is a whole hell of allot of fun.

              So the test went well?
              Thats a dirt bike as much as my Ford E250 is an ATV, haha.

                        Yeah, passed with a clear score/no points deducted. E250, eh? A 3/4-ton van? Much more room for keeping stuff out of the weather than the '65 2wd 1-ton pickup I use for offroading...lol.

                        Thanks, Steve!

                                Ehmmm... I still see an uncanny resemblance

                                Just swap on some chrome fenders, pop off one of the fronts brakes and the bike will look damn near complete! Your nearly there!
