I guess it's a non-issue right now. I have put too much money into modding the Husky. I have to keep it until it dies, if I want to stay married.

Who knows, maybe it'll last a good long time. If...

This would all be much simpler if I'd just go back to street riding. :D

I did do a 2500+ mile trip through Colorado last year on the Husky and couldn't have asked for a better bike for it (aside from the wind blast while riding across Nebraska, that sucked). But, like I...

I know, right?

To keep it ultra simple, Suzuki just needs to update the DRZ400S. Better tranny, EFI (optional), better suspension. Do that and I'm in!

What Honda needs to do is take the XR650R and modernize it. That XR line is damn close to what I want, but they've been making that same bike since when, the 80s?

G650, KLR, DR650, all too heavy...

There really isn't much available that'll do that and still be fun to ride. The TE630 was...

Let's talk more about the WR!

I love my TE630, but there's always this sinking feeling that I'm putting too many miles on it.

It is higher maintenance and I can live with that, but I have a...

Those TKCs cost a fortune! More than double the cost of the MT21s.

The biggest size I see for the D606 is 130/90x18 for the rear.

I have a stack of MT21s in the garage that should get me...

I've heard good things about the D606s. I don't think they come in my size, though. I've been using Pirelli MT21s with good success.

Truth. I'm actually more comfortable on my DS in paved corners, even on knobbies, than I ever was on a sportbike.

I was full throttle into the wind today at a whopping 90 mph. My ZX-10R would do...
