Have you read my Canada ride report? Here are a couple of pictures of the roads in question.

It may not look rough, but I should have worn a jock strap and a kidney belt. But I wouldn't trade that trip for anything, it was a blast, I loved Canada!

60miles of washboard roads. Just like hunting, or by my grandparents house. I wonder if theres a term to call it when you still feel like you're going up and down, but you are standing. Like getting your sea legs after a long day on rolling waters and then try to stand on land.

Checked my subframe, its still good and not bent. Thou my blinker mount weld finally broke. So now I'm riding without the rack or blinkers. Guess I'll be looking for a local welder to re-weld the mount and reinforce the other one too before it brakes also. And after seeing the rack and blinkers gone, the klx rear end looks more slick and sexy.
