Yeah, my friends thought I was nuts. I was supposed to control it with meds, but I'm lazy and, well...you know how that goes. My med, in this case, is turning out to be my Tenere, but it only makes it worse, as it turns out.
Anyhow, got out to Santiago and Silverado Canyons today with my neighbor and his XR600. It was good fun and the 1200cc pig is surprisingly well-planted in the dirt. Yes, even with the stock BattleWings it does amazingly well. I need some new hoops, though. BattleWings do not like rocks. I am riding fairly slow in the vids as it took me awhile to get used to the bike in the dirt. This is NOT my KTM 450EXC, for sure so I adjusted my riding style to match. Umm...still slow. Give it time.
Some boring vids of the ride. I guess you had to be there:
