Relaxing weekend ride

[karlaeda 0]

After some agonizing several weeks we were finally able to get out of the house and ride the bike. Nothing exciting, but perhaps worth sharing

This is pretty much all on Deer Springs rd in Laguna - pictures will do the talking.

Your lady's braver than mine. There's no way she'd go 2 up on dirt. Looks like a great day, George.

Always nice to ride Pine Creek road and Deer Park road area. Very scenic.

How are those dual sport tires working out? Does your bike like the dirt?

The tires are great. They do wear out a bit too quickly. This is my first set - I was told to expect about 4,000 out of them or so.

The bike is okay in dirt, it lacks ground clearance and is a bit top heavy, but I manage. Most of people will tell you that the vstrom is not made for dirt, but I firmly believe that it will do everything you ask of it, you just can't go too fast as you will most likely scape skidplate every now and then.

I like it because I can easily go anywhere without having to truck the bike out - it feels very comfortable on the tarmac.
