Beautiful husky, beautiful scenery!

I don't have a motorcycle, I'm just here to enjoy them vicariously though others cause I really want one, but I'm glad you had a wonderful ride!

Thank you. I'm blessed to live in a beautiful place.

I was in the same boat as you, for a very very long time. There's always some excuse or some obstacle. It's almost better that way, because you'll appreciate it more when you get yours, trust me on that.

That's a lovely sentiment! I appreciate that framing ☺️

Hope you have a lovely day my friend!

Was a killer weekend temperature wise here in Southern Alberta, perfect temps and the smoke levels are manageable. Ride was in the Ghost PLUZ, which is on the eastern border of Banff National Park

Oh man you get to ride near Banff??? I was there for the first time a month ago. So jealous haha

I'm pretty lucky for sure. Between this and the mountain bike, I definitely have a lot of mountains in my life.

Up my paps camp this weekend and I'm having a blast. Finally comfortable enough to get a little bit of speed on the trails and it feels like surfing.

I got a klx 300, what's that you got right there?

[–] GrindingGears@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah it's kind of a cool feeling when you get some flow right?

I really like those KLX's especially the newest ones. I was considering a KLX300 or the new CRF300L for the longest time, but ended up with this. It''s a '24 Husqvarna FE350s, it's pendulum is swung harder towards the off-road, but it's still a fun little ripper on the road too, as long as you minimize the higher speed freeways as much as possible. If it's more than an hour away, it goes on the trailer.
