    Got tired of waiting for the snow and rain to go away and made the 400 mile round day trip to central Oregon for some dez riding. We nailed it condition wise, 45 and sunny with damp dez floor. Epic. Hammered out 85 fast miles. No crashes, no issues, perfect day.

    BTW buddy Travis with the KTM 350 proclaimed the 511 sets new standards for controllable power. Said he has never ridden such a powerful bike that was so EZ to control. He owned a CRF450 before the KTM 350. Good stuff.

    On the way down off the south side of MT hood...

    Sweet dirt with perfect bermed corners were the norm for the day. Lots of 4-6th gear high speed stuff this day.

    Some rocky sections too

    didn't need them for this day but they are nice for a lot of rides. I care less about looks and more about comfort and function.

    I miss my TE 449 SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much! Stupidest sale in my entire life! It truly was the perfect "do everything" bike. I think I'll retire to the garage and kick my own ass.

    I am just teasin' no offense meant, there is no way I would go without mine either. They all just remind me of my childhood when they are black in color. :)

    Trust me Kelly, I have been thinking about this A LOT. If I could roll back time and take back my 449 I would do it. I was so stupid for getting rid of that bike on a compulsive whim.

    To quote Dave Jennings, professor at Faber College... "It's a distinct possibility".

    Kelley,
    Is that China Hat or 4 corners ? How does your dialed in 511 compare to my 449 ?

    4 corners.

    511 is faster and suspension is very good. Liked your bike a lot but mine is setup for me and like the damper and suspension and power more out there.
