    We rode a 950 2 up around white rim 4 years ago. I thought it handled pretty well. I can only offer heresay on passenger comfort.

    To be honest, for the amount of difficult off road I will be doing, the regular Adventure is a better bike for me. I have other choices in the stable for single track.

    She told me about that now that I think of it. She said her lower back got tired and that her suggestion would be to have some form of back rest on it. That's always an do able option.

    OhGodOhGodOhGodOhGodOhGodOhGodOhGodOhGodOhGodOhGodOhGodOhGodOhGod!!!!!!

    This is just like marrying a lovely and sweet young lady, and just before you leave for your honeymoon, you stumble across the porn videos she made in college on some internet site. :cry

    (PM with Q's headed your way)

    Don't forget the women & children.

    Yeahbut.... It's got brand new shoes. For what I intend, I think they will be fine.

    In the process of tracking them down. Most of the accessories were in the back, but the skid plate was sold off.
    Purely hypothetical. Right hon?

    Right?

    I'd love to Jeff - haven't been up it in a couple of years.. last time I rode the rowdy section it was in the snow and it was a hoot :ricky .

    That said, our Wed. motohooky got postponed so we're headed the other way.. to ride Cap'n Jacks tomorrow.. "before it closes". If you decide you want to do it next week.. I'm in. Wed or Fri.

    :freaky
