    Took a little end of the year camp -n- ride. Met some friends up at an epic riding area. They were camping for 4 days and I needed to come home the third day after riding so instead of driving my truck all the way up there I rode my fantastic TE511 home Saturday evening so i could be home for my B-day party Sunday. My wife thought i was crazy, was actually fun. So basically I rode up in a buddies truck, rode 180 miles of technical single track for 3 days and rode my bike 78 miles home. FUN!!! Not many bikes I would even consider doing this but the TE511 did it perfectly, ran perfect all weekend, never had one issue, was always accommodating and fun to be on and was very EZ on gas. This is a fantastic do it all machine I am reminded of every time I take it out. Always a joy and GREAT mount to be on for about anything. TE250/310 would do this but suck on the 78 mile650 mph ride home. The new TR650 would be fantastic for the ride home but near impossible to do this trail system on and if you even could it would not be fun. Want a Ds bike that can ride the gnarliest single track and then ride home... TE449/511 baby.

    Cool man!
    We were up that way yesterday putting in some miles. After a month in dry ol' Cali it was like heaven being back in GP.

    Glad you had a good time. Even if it was on one of the worst MX bikes ever :busted:
    Cause only MX matters, ya know!

    Oh yeah, I'll be @ Washougal Sunday. It's gonna be a stupid amount of fun!

    No biggie dude. Travis mentioned something about a camping trip with you, but I wasn't sure about the details.
    I didn't even know I was going until Saturday, so it was a unexpected treat. Did 74 miles on the small bores. Totally awesome day and I am one sore pup today.

    I've got a concert Saturday night, so no camping for me. I might be able to hit Sat. practice though.
    I'll touch base with you later this week.

    It is the perfect DS bike, doesn't even get dirty after 262 miles:)

    So how many average miles can you go with your extra tank?

    I did like the MT43 / IT front combo too. Better on the street, not quite as good on the dirt.

    15-50

    note - just changed out the CS sprocket for the first time. Was EZ and allowed me to easily inspect and re-grease the swing arm bearings. I like this CTS setup.

    Ah....I'm running 13-50 I believe...the 510 is spinning pretty high at 55 MPH (5600 rpm or more I believe) Seems a little too high...I'll switch back to the 15 front and see how it is then.
