Thanks man. The best pics are actually of an ex-lady friend so would be poor form to post. She did well with the herd of sheep.

About a quarter of a mile past here, I found out what hard, snowy, muddy riding can be. Three days, three feet of snow. In June.

Front tire is not beefy enough for that bike. IMO. And for a factory bike, the cable routing looks hella sloppy.

That bike to me should move more towards a bobber style with a beefy front end.


But I am also fairly anti-harley. I think people give them a "pass" based on heritage, and not quality.

Being that this website has a number of people who will justify expensive handmade shoes of fine leather, I can assume that they would want expensive motorcycles to also be extremely well made.

Perhaps it's an HD "second".

A friend of mine was drooling while telling me about his on/off road ride through some back country. Got me thinking about bikes that fit the bill.

Thanks, but no. It's a knockoff WWII paratrooper jacket; my ex wore the same and painted maps of the trip on the back. Cheesy, but *******.

I think I see snow on the horizon:

P, this is what happens when a boulder the size of a microwave hits a Royal Enfield:

You could do worse. Once I pushed my heart back down my throat (visions of the bike going over the 10000 foot cliff. Fortunately riderless) all I had to do was pick up the bike and put the spark plug cover back on, ran perfectly.

I've been wanting to do the Delhi to Ladakh route through all the hill stations for ages now.

Those are some pics and that's quite a story.

I was looking at the latest and greatest BMW GS, the big one "Adventure Series." Looks like a serious machine.
