    What kind of trails are those? Are they established trails or just ones that you found?

    Your bike looks a little lonesome in those pics

    Did this trip require a blue plate?

    Hey good buddy... it's been too long!!

    Yup, sold the 950 early this spring. Got what I was asking for it + putting some funds aside for my wedding next year.

    Gotta say, I'm overly surprised by the XR650. It'll go more places than the 950 off-road + will still do 120kph all day long on the highway. I've fallen in love with it!!

    ...it was supposed to be a "compromise"!! Ya right, this is an upgrade!!!!! LOL

    Big bikes have their place for sure but a big single with comfy seat, IMS tank, maybe +1 fr. sprocket will do 100% of what you need if you plan on staying sorta close to legal speeds plus better on trails. Enjoy

    Bring that over to Moondoggies this Saturday... meet some of the ADVriders.

    One of the girls rides the same bike, with two rear (knobby) tires installed.

    Let me know if you do that again. I could meet you at Blue. I don't have an off-road bike, but I can bring my atv along. It's got an 800 in it, so it should be able to keep up.
