Great video Wes, thanks for taking the time to edit and create it! Enjoyed the commentary and music... just right! Looking forward to Day 2.

Riding your DRZ? What gear do you have on it?

That was a fun watch. I need a dual sport, looks like a blast!! Glad your covid symptoms were mild. Think you caught that at the "Last Ride of the Year"?

The dual sport is definitely fun, great variety of riding conditions, and very challenging at times!

My daughter-in-law tested positive late morning of the the Last Ride of the Year day and sent a text to me and my wife. We had been with them following Christmas for 3 days right before the event. Pretty sure that's were I got it.

After this solo 1200 mile trip, 4 other local riders joined me for a 1300 mile dual sport trip in April from the Florida Panhandle up to the Talladega Mountains and back on mostly dirt roads!
