Beautiful scenery there and a great camping spot. That's my kind of camping...take the vehicle, set up a base camp, and ride out the area.

So... big ride requires a big bike?

Wish it would STOP SNOWING here, so I can get some off-road riding in.

I realize it's probably a weight/wheelbase length issue, but I love that the Husaberg got stuck on the back!

Anyone could have rode anything, We were doign KLR capable roads so thats what i took, notice my buddy took his berg because he doesnt bigger DS besides his 1200GS. I could have easily taken the KLX but it was better for the KLR.

It started life as a FZ1. He chopped it up made a custom rear subframe, made the aluminum panniers, custom exhaust, shifting mechanism, headlight supports, and put on suspension from a KTM950, custom seat... list goes on.... but its his own creation. He calls it Ronin.

I grew up in WV - great riding all over.

Been a long time and I'm probably wrong but that looks a lot like Audra state park.

Great pics. Thanks for sharing.
