In reply to Curvyroads. Dreaming but uncertain the wisdom of pursuing the reality. Guess I just see what the days reveal...

Wow, good for you dreaming about BDR rides! I’ve done a bit of off road, on a 125, a 250, and my 1200. Now in retirement and enjoying the heck out of seeing the country, I can’t risk my healthy bones for a BDR kind of trip. Couldn’t resist the Burr Trail and the Moki Dugway in Utah last spring though…less than a day of dirt is fine by me!

In reply to mike.

Perhaps you need to devise a new strategy at home regarding a motorcycle off-road. It’s not a motorcycle — it’s a dirt bike. And it’s not a big machine like your brother-in-law was riding. It’s a little starter bike for slowly wandering the seldom used forest trails around here.

Quiet repetition is the key to new message development Mike!

In reply to Bruce Leigh.

I’ve certainly polished ways to while away the day at Saint’s and other leisurely venues.

Glad the DR350 met your goals for a machine to do the Trans American Trail. So you best get that new seat in development. Departure time for the TAT will get here before you know it.

Work… it’s becoming more and more a distant memory.

In reply to Tball. I've looked at a few DR650s. Went as far as getting an out-the-door quote on a lightly used one at a local dealer. But I've not taken the plunge on that model or others.

I’m not sure if I should curse you or thank you for opening my eyes to the BDR. I had no idea such a thing existed. I’ll make a deal with you… buy a bike to ride the ride and I’ll ride some of it with you. ‘Kay?

Brings back memories, in the 70s had a group of us that were cycle fly’s at Two Wheels Cycle shop was our hang out, Did dirt road riding for a couple of years exploring the northern area of pa, tons of roads & trails most of us had 250, 360 Yamahas enduro’s, there were a couple of hodaka’s. We did rail riding up north, this is before rail to trails, we hop in the middle of the track and ride rail ties, talk about peg riding, my knees today tell me how much fun it was. Like you Steve I would love to do BDR stuff, My Brother in law wiped out up in Tamarack area, Boggered himself up, I ended up picking him up at Bucktail Med center, My Bride reminds me of that every time I mention motor cycle off road.
