Sweet singletrack!! Yeah this is the ultimate mind/body/spirit enhancement as we get older👍

[@painsrides3616]

You shall be led to this Spiritual Well very soon young Padawan... Just as soon as we find a place to park everyone 🤣🤣

[@easternyellowjacket276]

No matter what, you know you are getting a great workout that is fun, as long as no one gets hurt. At least that is how I look at riding at my age (57). It's a great way to stay in shape, work on balance and keep coordination and reaction time active. 😉

[@painsrides3616]

I'll be 57 in a week and thank God I can still do this... Got to keep moving till I'm in the ground 🤣

[@easternyellowjacket276]

@@painsrides3616 Amen to that, brother. 🙏

[@Viper6-MotoVlogger]

That is definitely a super fun trail bro.

[@painsrides3616]

Its 5 miles of really tough terrain to get to this section, the slug fest is worth it.... 😉

[@billsharko3007]

The DRZ is a great bike just wish they were a lot lighter. Mine has been a very good motorcycle.

[@painsrides3616]

As capable as the DRz is and even being enhanced for this type of riding from the mods I've done... There's very little that can be done about its weight ☹ Its really an Achilles heel for riding the type of terrain I do with it. As it turns out, this week a few unexpected "things" happened, looks like I'll be getting back to 2stroke true enduro machine and I can put the DRz back in its dual sport clothes ... ;)

[@drzrider3440]

55,000 miles on my heavily modded 2011. Runs and looks better than new

[@painsrides3616]

The DRz is a great do it all bike and it got me through this season. But as of yesterday I'm back on a 2t for this type of riding.

[@painsrides3616]
