Mine is used for more hardcore dirt than regular DS/everydat riding. I am considering trading it ti someone to get a 250 motocross bike to use offroad only or another SV650.

Hardcore my ass...

Royal Blue is pretty tough shit with all those fucking side by sides and ATVs destroying everything. It's not like motocross hardcore, but it is tough shit.

Yeah, it's alright. I'd give the advantage to Windrock though, as far as tough shit. Ruts are deeper and the hills are steeper in some points.

Hm....

Maybe I shouldn't sell the WR.

We just need to make some time to go ride. I know of another guy with a Honda that would love to go.

Tony and Laura always went to Royal Blue, so that's where I went. I would be up for Windrock someday. The DRZ is not really made to ride that shit and I am green in the dirt, so I usually get hurt at some point.

Fwiw I spent a little money on suspension and a couple other upgrades. Ditched the lights, kickstand, etc and had a decent trail/track bike (with elect start)in my DRZ...
