Did a little riding today with a buddy a few hours south of me at a place called OutbackATV. After not riding for almost a month, it sure felt good to get out.


This is the same KDX I rode a while back, fun bike for sure!

Don't get much better than this.








The new suspension worked fantastic. It is definitely a "the faster you go, the better it feels" setup. It felt real good at all speeds, but it especially performed well the faster you went and the rougher the terrain. I gave it a pretty good workout today, and I am very pleased with the work.

Great riding today! Can think of too many ways I'd rather spend a Saturday afternoon.

 

That looks like a lot of fun, I am going to be doing some of that myself tomorrow!

 

Yeah, I saw you got your big bore done - nice!

 

Are those ICON motorcyle shoes your friend is wearing? They look a lot like ones I have.

 

Not sure.


I got some pretty good helmet cam footage from today, it will take a little bit to cobble it together, but I got a nice clip of why radiator guards are important. My guards just paid for themselves today, otherwise I would be footing the bill for a new left radiator right now.

 

what were the temps down there? In that first pic of you suited up it looks chilly

 

looks like a good time...

 

Nicely done, we're all jealous here waiting for the snow to melt.

 

It was chilly in the morning but warmed up. By the final loop late afternoon I took off two layers and just had a t-shirt and jersey under the roost guard. That was perfect - a little chilly for standing around, but perfect when you got into the woods. I think it was maybe mid 50s.

 

Yeah the 50's are good.
