super super super supermoto!!!

Today three friends and I went riding out at Corral Canyon OHV. BM was needing some photos for his new businesses website and had asked me to be a photo model.

I was the only one on a supermoto and the rest of the gang were on XR650L, Husky 125 two smoker and a TW200 with Distanzias on it. I was the lone guy out on street tires. But at least I had e-start, great suspension and my mountain biking skills to help me out. Yeah for my bike and the short time I spent on my TTR-125.

We did a 28 mile loop around and through the park. I only fell over twice. Once while turning around I dropped my bike and kept the clutch in and just picked it right back up and rode off. The second time I was moving along and was a little too confident in what my tires could do. Hello ruts and rocks, hello too much throttle. Hello ground! Scuffs and scrapes on the bike but I was totally unharmed. Yeah for good gear!

I got yelled at by a ranger once for going to fast on the paved road up to the look out tower. Hello, I'm on a supermoto on a paved road with jumps. What do you think I am gonna do??? So she locked a gate and trapped us, thinking then we would have to ask her to let us out. Wrong. PM and I just pushed and pulled and lifted our two motorcycles over the gate. Yeah for brute strength!!

I want to do this ride again! I also think having a dedicated dirt bike (again) would be totally worth it. (Santa didn't bring me a CRF150R, nor did I ask for one though...) Yep, my old GSXR 600, my WR250X supermoto and a Honda CRF150R dirt bike and I could ride anywhere, anytime, anyway.

Random Pics. Never mind my helmet hair either!
