Hey do I know how to kill a thread or what? Motorcycle
I haven't been on a dirt bike since my son and I rode together in the 90's, and that was on a decade old (at least) XR200. If I were to start shopping for a dual sport for this FODS, I'm wondering where to start, and any help will be appreciated. Does it have to be street legal as well? Is there a displacement below which I will be disappointed? I've seen DRZs and KLRs mentioned. Are there any other suitable machines? And I have to ask, would a side by side four wheeler be up to the ride?
Well John it looks like your gentle suggestion worked. On the other forum, Mr Bill has set a time and place for your great suggestion. July 31 - August 4 based out of the KOA in Ouray. I am working on logistics to make this happen for me. WHooo Hooo, I can't wait to get back to ride some Colorado dirt.Check out this video and drool.
Sturgis dates August 4th through the 13th make this a tough to attend. Dang, retirement scheduling is tough.CRAP. Right before Sturgis......may or may not make this one. Hope my *** has recovered from Inuvik by then
Dang John you already had me all excited about the Dakota Adventure Loop! Now your just tormenting me. I just about have the XR650L set up for rides like the DAKAL. If I would have known I was going to get this excited about dual sport riding I probably would have bought something different but I am Balls deep with the XRL now so that is what I am going to run with.New Dakota Adventure Loop Film

The XRL should be adventure ready by spring since I have added handle bar risers, a larger gas tank, handguards, luggage rack and Giant loop sadle bag, and some great off road tires.
I can't wait till spring to try it out and will be down in your neck of the woods for the DakotaDualSport Riders.com Spring rally in Deadwood June 15th - 18th of 2017. While I am there I will be learning everything I can to set up plans for a DAKAL ride some time in the future. After testing out the newly set up XRL I am hoping to run out to the Rocky mountain FODS event in Ouray in the end of July if I can get vacation time lined up.
John if I could work out the logistics of being gone for that long while running the motorcycle school and still working full time I would. I just don't see an extended trip up North happening until after I retire next year. I would love nothing better than to hop on the Tenere and join you fellows up North.Dang John you already had me all excited about the Dakota Adventure Loop! Now your just tormenting me.

Damn it. I'll be at Dust to Dawson when you are in the Hills in June and working the Sturgis Rally for the Ouray shindig. Why don't you just come to Dawson, Inuvik etc with me?
