Oops... the short cut I decided to try today was a bit more challenging than expected! Especially my nonexistent n00b skillz. Mud covered with soft snow. Especially getting the bike uphill was interesting. There were fresh moose tracks on the same trail all the way. Moose hunting stand in the first pic, in case you're wondering. Nearly 500km / 300 miles on the odo of my first dual sport now.
Nice pics Some Finn. You made a wise choice for your first D/S bike by the looks of the landscape. I'm of Finnish decent myself. Grandparents moved here from Finland. My Grandmother just celebrated her 100th birthday on April 5th.
Yes they are. Jamin_mathis made me look pretty good didn't he! I damned near dumped it in one of them but managed not to crash right in front of him at ten frames a second
Just picked up a new '09 610 last Saturday. So far it has been a real fun bike even while breaking it in for it's first service at 600 miles. Still bone stock with an Uptite skiplate on the way, and some other tidbits George talked me into Need to pick up something other then my iPhone or my D300 for taking shots out in the wilds. Fasttrak KLB Short 250 mile trip home trying to beat the onslaught of a torrential downpour. View attachment 4287 First ride ending at a nice and full lake near my house. View attachment 4286
Take er nice and easy breaking in. After you get it dialed in a bit and setup how you like it, uncork it. Hehehe it's cute that you think it's fun now... Just you wait
Some TE specific photos from some fun yesterday up the Gorge thinking it through oops. hooray or bash plates This is what we were getting through... tired = silly getoffs. I was getting up from laughing, not the drop geez. I kind of look like a BMW poser, eh?
Momma ? I think you mean Papa. Very nice pics and scenery. I love to see those type of pics. The big ol' 610 on technical singletrack trails or rippin' through the snow in the forest or the Aussie dunes.The very first post on this thread the guy's riding a trail in Baja that's like two feet wide. I've heard so many people say that it's too big and heavy for serious offroad riding and I'll even admit that I've made that statement myself yet that's all I ever use it for and it works. Love my 610. BTW Where's PDX ?
Welcome to the fold Good pics, it looks like you’re poised to take full advantage of it so hope you’ll have a blast on that black beast In the second pic it seems like your mirrors are either flipped or maybe you have two lefties ? Must be the camera angle
Not at all I had to be told by one of the guys here (thanks L D ) that my mirrors where flippedy flopped so naturally I gravitate to things like that Left to my own I would still be riding with them wrong way, with this music in my head (Yeah, I’m such an idiot sometimes… )
