      Took Friday off work for a much needed ride on my DR650...loving this bike. Got rained on pretty good on the way home but my new Klim gear sure is worth the money! First ride with my new Shoei Hornet X2 dual sport helmet...good purchase too.



      We got up a little high...lol...it was about 50 degrees though...











      Rob came over for my usual Friday afternoon safety meetings in my garage....

        Nice Trevor! I have no want or need for a Dual sport... Yet. I'm waiting so I have something "new" when I'm in my mid to late 40's... If motorcycles aren't ban by then.

        I took the FZ6 into work this AM. Suppose to get into the 50's today and near 70 tomorrow which is HIGH for February in Vermont. Despite the 50's rolling in this afternoon I did have to combat snow on my way into work for it was is the mid to low 30's on my way in... Once I got on route 30 it was clear and warm (low 40's). Great ride in but it will be an even better ride home!

          Nice rainbow picture Trevor. But I thought there was supposed to be a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, not two dual sports! ☺

            Norm what's the difference?
            With how DS hold their resale value they seem to be the same in my book!

              Grgeat shots Trevor.

              At least with the dual sports you can go and see if the pot o' gold is there.
              On Sunday I came to a road I'd never ridden through the Sandia mountains. It was only paved for the first few hundred yards or so. I rode it for a while on the GS and thought I'd better turn around and save it for the KLR.

                Yes...the DRs certainly hold their value.....Jedz, what I love is that on Friday when we rode, the weather was iffy at best...but with the DR it just doesn't matter. I may be more fair weather rider than you...I just can't be bothered to get one of my nice street bikes out to ride in traffic and crappy weather. And living on an Island I have seen all the pavement there is....I have only scratched the surface of off road riding here....not to mention the scenery....plus I'm away from cars. My DR has given me new interest in riding.

                  Been doing a little phototagging here and there. Here's a few shots from the last few rides the last one being day before yesterday. I was on shift yesterday so no riding then. I'm on kiddo duty right now so also no riding lol.

                      Why thanks. Someday I'll get a real camera instead of using a phone.

                        Speaking of which, where do your mile markers start??

                          For these purposes, your phone is doing a great job. And there's a lot to be said for portability and convenience!

                            59F today here and still plenty of ice on the pond and snow banks to melt away, but a good day for testing a little seat modification on the ZR7.....in a few days I'll switch back to snowmobiling up north!

                              I was able to bring the FJR home this afternoon. A nice 90 mile highway ride. It was a freek weather day in northern Ohio with temperatures in the 70's!!! This motorcycle is so smooth with a bunch of power. So this is what a modern motorcycle feels like. Right now it's in my garage surrounded by GS Suzukis. I hope everyone gets along okay.
