Yeah I am learning. Dude, this bike rules. You need a GS as soon as possible. Fun is just too soft a word to describe it. I am still real unsteady in dirt, but I think that is mostly due to tires. I am going to go with some tourrances next time. Not the best for gravel, but I want a better road tire since I spend most of my time there, but they are better than my tires on gravel right now.

I forgot... then what the hell are you calling those mountains for?!

when you due for tires? it'll be nice to not spend a fortune every 5k like with the RR huh

They are mountains, a shitload older mountains. Smoky Mountains/Appalachia and all that.

I don't know, I still got a ton of tread left. I really want some tourrances though.

I need a suit though. Been doing some research and probably will get a BMW Rallye 2 Pro Jacket and 'stitch darien pants. The roadcrafter is just not a good dual sport suit in the heat and that will be most of my riding. The R2P jacket and darien pants seem to get recommended a lot though.
