Motorcycle Ride

I went for a ride a couple days ago, 204 miles in 4 hours. I took the 65MPH 4 lane state route for about an hour, a few country roads for a short while, then ran around Tar Hollow State Forest. I went on both paved and gravel forest roads. I was OK with it on the stock street tires on the Versys, but I think something like a 250cc dual sport may be in my future. I also saw the carrier I am thinking about hanging off the back of a towed vehicle, and getting the 400+ pound Versys up that short ramp and into the cradles would be quite a chore.

I'll enjoy the 650cc bike for a couple more years, but when I hit the road full-time, the RV may be towing a small 4WD pickup with a 250cc bike hanging from it.

I mowed today, next nice day, Emo needs to get me out for a hike.
