Mojave Trail in March



Checked out the forest roads above Green Valley Lake in August.
Loaner bike, 1050 in for service.



Rode 2400+ mile loop to Portland on the 1050 over Labor Day



Camped out with the San Diego crew on Mount Laguna in October



Plus, rode all the regular stuff.
DVDaze January, WARPED April, LA-B-V Thanksgiving.
Not much of a shutterbug, what can I say?

I notice I have exactly zero pics of my KLR this year...

Don't get me wrong...I love the rides I have done this year for the ride itself, but even more, I appreciate the new friends I have made through riding and the old friends who keep creating memories for the days in the rocking chair on the front porch.

This is from a ride we did from Tucson to the Grand Canyon and back 90% dirt. Four of the guys shipped their bikes from upstate NY to Tucson to make this trip happen. (where there is a will...there is a way).
