congrats,  Bigok
some of the most fun i've had on a motorcycle is exploring BC's backwoods on my XR650.You live in a beautiful part of BC to go exploring on a dual-sport www.dualsportbc.com has all sorts of great info about what's available in your area.
  Don't ask me how i know Rolleyes  but if you're going to ride it offroad do yourself a favour and buy yourself a pair of decent MX boots.
i've owned both A*s tech 6 and 8's as well as Sidi's crossfires.the crossfires rule all the way

OK Bubba,  now I'm motivated.

All I got to do is trailer the XL to your place and you've got an off road accomplice.

The farkling will begin in earnest this winter in preps for a sojourn to the true north big and huge.

I have a long list as this thing is totally stock. This week the license plate gets relocated.

What an easy bike to ride and it fits me fine, I can totally flat foot it with both feet.

Mine is doing just fine thanks very much thanks to the medication. The KLR, on the other hand, needs to be replaced and will be shortly.
