Yes, I knew you were staying with a relative. I haven’t ridden except for my scooter, but will get the KTM and Honda out after we get a break in the hot weather. I saw a guy with a black leather jacket and black helmet at lunch today and don’t know how they do it. Next year my old but new Yamaha enduro bike will qualify for “vintage” status, so it will no longer need annual license tabs. It is fun to ride a two stroke on the street! Maybe you needed a steering stabilizer on the DR650?
I could have changed tires or simply continued putting 1400 miles/month on the Mariner Hybrid. Frankly, the new bike is a better fit to my riding habits. The street is available for a longer time than off road in my area. The Versys is fuel injected, so it will run better at higher elevations. I can still do the technical off road riding on the TW200 and XT250 bikes. The DR650 was too heavy for the kind of trails I wanted to explore.
btw- boost skins absorptive ability - end each shower with a little scrub down of Epsom Salts before final rinse off.
You'll get addicted to doing it it, it makes your skin feel great!
