Another Phoenix rider and another plug for mesh gear. Personally, I've been wearing a Motoport Kevlar mesh jacket for over fives years now and still love it.

I did the last AARG ride out there. Smoking 100mph dirt super highway darn near the whole way. I'd be bored stiff on my 450, but it was a high-speed slice of heaven on the GSA. Good camp spot, too.

Buy a boat. Ran an XR185 in the water regularly when I was a kid - never fucked up a bike so thoroughly in so many ways since. I'll do a bit of reasonable water with my GSA, but scew the submariner.
