TrophyHunter 15 Posted May 29, 2015 You can ride back roads out there, Miriam. I've done this route on my (prior) DR650 but will try to make this ride on the WR450 if life doesn't get in the way. One of my favorite loops. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1NaAdv 4 Posted May 30, 2015 Glad to hear your back in the saddle Darren. Interested, though i ride a KLR. But i ride it like its small??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TrophyHunter 15 Posted May 30, 2015 Do it. I'm no bikeslut and rode this on my DR650, as did my son on his DR. Spyder had his GS1150 but he's just a stud. Trickiest part is up the slightly rocky section on Pine Creek. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
350thumper 336 Posted May 30, 2015 Miriam 8:15 @ Carl's works for me. I rode this on a 610 1naAdv , if you ride it like its a smaller bike then your good. Ive watched a guy do it on a 990. It would be great to have you . Like bike slut said I culd use a strong rider to help lead .. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
