Hey. Got the new 610 out last weekend to test out her single track skills. Pretty amazing how well this big heavy DS bike does on the trails. Awesome everywhere but the real rocky stuff. Thats where she shows her size. But, that type of ridding is few and far between for me so the other 98% of the time it was all smiles. I had heard about a bunch of new trails at Diamond Mill and had not been there for a few years so I headed out Sun afternoon for a few hr of play. Conditions were near perfect and never saw another bike the whole day. Logged in about 45 miles and had a great time exploring the new trails. Heading back this weekend for a huge loop starting at Diamond mill thru Jorden over to the Trask. Then into Tillamook for lunch and back. Should be a fun day, and this is a great bike for the trip!
That right there looks like the definition of good times! I plan to be out there with a couple other fat heavy big bores on Sunday.
Those are some great pix you took. Nice machine too. I was setting up to ride, but Southern Idaho just got more snow. Rats!!!
He is a pro photographer and yes, great shots Dave, ping me next time. Got a TE511 and TR650 to hit that stuff with you.
Holy chain saws, ( pic 5 & 6 ). That's one way to keep the quads and side x sides off the single track !
95% of that area is impossible to ride on a quad anyway. Steep and off camber everywhere. you can see from some of his pictures they purposely blast some nice single track out into quad width crap for those guys to destroy. Us single track guys would be pissed but they are also busting in tons of new single track so it is all good. There is a guy here managing and building trail for the state for the last few years that simply kicks ass. We are SOOOO lucky to have him.
Hey, I that looks like my old bike! Hope you're enjoying it. Great bike, it will go most anywhere. Dave
Ha. No, I traded in for a used 2012 TE310 at Bill's. Can't say after that... it must have found a new owner. It was a clean, low mile bike with some good add-ons. Dave
Yep, think it was yours. Bills son had it for about a year I guess? Had 950 miles when I got it. Super clean with a few goodies. May get a bigger tank at some point and new dot tires, but other than that its about perfect!
Cool. Well, enjoy it. It's a blast and does alot of things well. Really multi-purpose. Last year of the carb 610's. Dave
