Hungry Valley again, and while G rode off to find some fun trails I worked on getting to know my XL175. It's running again and the seat is now a blue camp pad covered in marine vinyl. After all of my (HIGHLY limited) experience with the Honda CRF100F and the TTR125 this thing rides like a tank! Smmoooooth!!!
The XL has no problems on whoops and feels pretty good in the loose stuff. I'm still stalling out :( but it's getting better. So long as I'm moving those MTN bike skills take over and it's all good...just wish those MTN bike skills would stop telling me that that left lever is NOT the rear brake.
My random goal this weekend was to get a shot that could stand alone as either a landscape or an off-road rider picture and get the two together at the same time. After riding around for a while I found the right "place" and ended up also being the subject!
