    So I was feeling lazy today and didn't feel like driving 2 hrs each way to singletrack. So I flipped up the mirrors and did an exploratory ride of the wilds of cascade mtns just 30 miles east of Seattle.
    After a couple hrs of dirt roads my back was killing me -lol. Glad I only do dual sporting on the thing once or twice a year. Gotta invest in a real duel sport one of these days.

    Is this the Fall City area? Tiger Mountain area?

    Cool pics ... The street riding is a pain sometimes on a dirt bike ...Maybe it is because we are just sitting in a single position too long and this results in pain ...

    North bend. It's that north fork rd that goes for like 30 miles up past mt si. Sucks majorly too..If you look at the mtns in any direction..they are all crisscrossed with fire roads..that are also gated. Waaah. This is basically only place to go left.

    Just as an fyi...only go on a sunny day. If its cloady its not the same ride at all. On sunny days its stunningly beatiful though.

    Nice stuff. Thanks for sharing!


    How does the 300 feel on the pavement? Bad vibes or anything?

    Surprisingly not bad. I have a motosportz steering damp on it so that helps. Just get alot of stares lol. I dont like pushing my luck as i am borderline legal so only once in a blue moon I ride it out in the open l
