Default Suddenly...

... there's nowhere I can't go.

Why didn't I buy a dual-sport YEARS ago?

I've been riding forest roads and single track almost every day this week, but finally managed to take a few photos today. Would have taken more, but I didn't want to stop riding. I'm neglecting chores at home because I'm becoming an addict.

Not quite ready for primetime: this mud hole was about forty feet long and of unknown depth. No thanks.

Views from the top of Horn Mountain. Entrance to the peak blocked by boulders? No problem...

This water crossing was a little deeper than expected. Almost biffed it in the very middle when I fell into a hole up to my knees. She's the little Yamaha that could, however...

Awesome pics man. Exactly why I bought mine. I'm a mountain biker at heart, so a DS just makes sense.

You won't regret it. I'm almost as fast through paved corners on this as I was my sportbikes, and I can go virtually anywhere. Boulders? Fallen trees? Mud pits? No longer barriers, but merely obstacles. I've lived here six years now, and it feels like I get to explore the place all over again.
