So get this....As part of my job today I got to take a ride on my Dual Sport Motorcycle up the 5000 mainline about 15 miles to GPS and map out the location of a couple of loads of logs that DNR is donating to us for an experiment. I know....its pretty rough. Oh and I volunteered to go and suggested that I take my bike...what a deal huh? Do you love your job as much as I do? hahahaha..

Getting paid to ride my motorcycle....priceless, for everything else there's Mastercard.

 

12 miles to the mainline, 15 miles up, and back, total mileage for the day 70. Temperature was 38

 

Looks like a fun day. I use my bike to commute between operations during the day. Great fun. Being in wv I can hit a lot of diet roads to get to them

 

Did you say "ill do it but you owe me" ? hhahaha well played Deej

 

Great stuff!
What's that shade thing on your GPS? Is that a garmin product?

 

Good eye, yes its some sort of light shield for the Garmin 60 CSX and it works great! My cousin bougt it for me, and that link below is the cheapest I have ever seen it at $9.95. Its for sale on other sites for $24-34

Glare Wizard Garmin 60 60cs 60csx Rino 520 530 $9.95

 

That's sweet!!!

 

38 is pretty cool, must have been below freezing when you started out eh? (Iced over puddles) Heated grips I hope, makes all the difference below 50 f or 10 c for us Canucks.

 

Heated grips? uh no those are on my wifes bike in case it gets below 70. LOL

It was cold though, I have heated grips on my 1300, but not the KLX. Hmmm maybe I should.

 

Way to take one for the team. I can almost see a slumped shoulder Deej, saying,"I'll do it." Then dancing a jig when he gets out of the room.
You must love all the logging roads up there. Looking at the map it seems like there's a million to chose from.
38º is just getting chilly, nothing a good pair of Gore-tex over mitts like Aerostitch's Triple Digits can't handle. Adds a load of comfort and can easily be stowed if not needed.
And...heated gloves are way better than grips for many reasons, from my personal experience, just sayin'.
