Being newly retired, the wife and I plan to take the travel trailer and some toys on the road this year. We have kayaks in addition to my bikes and I wanted something lighter than the ST to take on the road. My choice was a 2006
DL-650. It has been so far, but has not been off-road.
Have you pinned down a time when you are heading there? Any word about whether Uncle Phil is going to join you?
Put about 5k off road miles on the Honda XRL 650 then moved on to the current V-Strom 1k. I've still got my sights set on a 950 KTM tho.
Well the deal has been struck. I had a few folks tell me that my ST was out of its' environment when I'd wonder out from time to time like in the first picture. So tonight I stuck a deal on another bike like the one in the second picture that might feel more at home in this environment. I get to pick up the actual bike on Saturday which will probably feel like it took a month to get to.
Byron my condolences, you are buying a new 22 year old bike.

Thats the same decision I came to. My ST1300 wasn't very good in the Dirt. You had a chance to see my Red 2008 KLR650 at Turbo Toms. I covered 650 miles that day. The KLR is What It Is. It ain't no sport bike, but it will take you anywhere.
Nice shots Byron.
BTW: Your chain is lose....
