The bike will be in pieces by then. LOL

Just about! It's gettin' a little crowded!

I don't know how y'all keep your license on the street! Curbs, ditches, lane splitting, these are things I see this bike being really good at. I had to restrain myself today quite a bit.

I said the same thing until I rode that little Yamaha TW200 this weekend. Now I am a believer. The thing was a fucking riot. And I was even on pavement 95% of the time.

I've been looking to get into that side of riding for a while.

At least between me and the trail there are (hopefully) no soccer moms in their Honda Odysseys on their cell phones doing their makeup in the mirror trying to kill me.

I understand the bike was pretty cheap, but wouldn't it make more sense to get say a DL650 Suzuki VStrom? I had one of those and it had great clearance, huge gas tank and a comfortable highway ride. Maybe a 85/15 street - dirt.

Someone will probably prove me wrong with fancy maths, but this trip sounds like more than 15% unpaved roads.

Correct, that 16% gravel roads

The secret is to go ride some actual dirt where you're allowed to act like an idiot. That will make curbs and stairs seem boring and a waste of time.

This. That means, keep your eyes open when it comes to wide stretches of freeway, lest you find yourself dreaming about it.

Congratulations on the bike!!

Great find man! :rockwoot:

Looks like a friggin blast

They quit moving after a while.

I did mine . . .

1st - 600 miles (no adjustment, but tight)
2nd - 1,800 miles (adjusted)
3rd - 6,000 (adjusted)
4th - 12,000 (no adjustment)
5th - 18,000 (no adjustment)
6th - 24,000 (adjusted)

Every 6k is the recommended check.

And there is no difference in pre/post '08 . . . except the post '08's burn oil like a furnace.
