Two weekends ago I was invited out for another Ganaraska ride with 4 other guys. The weather was perfect… and because there wasn’t so much rain I didn’t crash once! :). Other than a short problem with gas pouring out the side of the bike… and new gearing that was a bit too high… it was a perfect day: here’s some pictures:<\/p>\n

Then last weekend I attended a TrailTours<\/a> Dual-Sport training day – it was a special price for ODSC<\/a> members: for $50 I couldn’t say no! I learned I needed a lot more practice at low-speed cornering (slow as you can go, lock-to-lock). I was expecting a lot of larger DS bikes… but almost all were 450cc or lower dirt-oriented models.<\/p>\n

I drove out to Ganaraska an back both days and had no problems on the road with the WR. The only issue was the batttery died (brand new one-week-old model) at TrailTours, so I had to kick-start it whenever I stalled… which was a lot with road gearing installed. I’m not 100% sure if it was a battery failure… or if maybe something else was screwed up (i.e. a problem with the charging system). I’ll look into that this weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
