Haha good one!
Yeah, I'll be anxious to hear how it does and what works best.
May take a ride tomorrow. Haven't made up my mind what bike I'll take yet. Both are ready to go. I really should be working on the tractor, but I may be able to squeeze that in later in the day.

Jay, did you make it out for a ride yesterday? I went for a 100+ mile ride yesterday and it was wonderful. It was a perfect day and although I had initially planned on a shorter ride, it was so nice that I just kept going. I haven't ridden the BMW for such a long time that I need to practice coming to a stop more smoothly instead of my legs flailing around before I come to a complete stop. Must look ridiculous.
Hey Walt! Glad you got out.
Yes, I did. It was beautiful here too. I took the TW yesterday. Ended up riding 110 miles. Got up into some of my old stomping grounds by my old camp in Kingsbury. Made it up to Austin pond. Hadn't ridden those trails in 20 years. I would have ride all the way to Greenville but I was running short on time. First long ride I've taken the TW on this year. I still really like it. It's a great trail bike. Yesterday was the first time I rode it with actual riding gear. It was much more comfortable.

Jay, 110 miles is a heck of a long way on that little bike. Did you stop a few times to get the kinks out of your joints? Was that ride largely dirt? Glad you had a good time!
Hey Walt!
I actually did surprisingly well. I've ridden it farther and was pretty saddle sore, but I wore jeans and work boots. For the first time, I wore my riding gear on it this week. Made a night and day difference. I even had a backpack on. I stopped long enough in Bingham (about 35 miles in) to top off the tank, but that was my longest stop. I took mostly road from above my camp back home cause I was getting low on time. About 20 miles.
The riding gear definitely made it more comfortable. It's an awesome little bike. There will come a time when it's my only bike. At some point I won't be able to get my leg o er the DRZ.
I did buy a nice Nelson Rigg dual sport trail bag for it. My next ride I'm planning will be to Greenville. That will be a long one!

I hear that! I reached a point a couple of years ago when I couldn't swing my leg over the DR-Z any more so I've had to step onto the foot peg for my leg to clear the tailbag. BTW your new tailbag looks great. The one on my bike is smaller but is expandable to about twice its collapsed height..
