Hello All, I’m anxiously awaiting pickup of my new to me ‘14 ES with 9,800 miles!! I’ve currently got an ‘08 WR250R and a ‘17 CRF250L. I’m looking forward to long distance touring/camping off the bike and being able to take my boys on adventures.

Welcome from IL. Hard for me to fathom how a 2014 can have that few miles! Not even broken in...

Welcome from New Hampshire.
My new to me '17 I picked up in April only had 4800 miles, and I thought that was low mileage for the year. Good luck, they are great bikes.

Welcome! Let me know if you want to get together for a ride or wrenching. I'm btw Madison and Janesville. Getting over to the Kettle Moraine area or toward Mineral Point is always a nice ride.

. . . . I’ve got to drive to TX next week to pick it up!! . . . .
Hey, as a heads up, we're predicted to be 102°-106° all next week. So, make sure whatever you're driving down here has A/C. 'Cuz if a person isn't used to the heat, it could cause problems. And the further South you have to go, the higher the humidity will be.

Thanks- I see it’s supposed to “cool off” to 100F by Sunday…. I initially planned to fly and ride but scrapped that after seeing the temps- I’m thinking riding 1300 miles (not in one stretch) would be a recipe for disaster.

Yeah, we've had a relatively mild Spring, but it's hitting back. And it takes acclimation to ride in this heat. I ride all Summer, but I've been doing it for decades. What city are you picking it up in?

Yeah, that's starting to get into West Texas. They tend to get hotter than Central and East Texas. But the humidity is usually a little lower though. Weather Channel just showed that San Angelo is predicted to be 111° today.
