Love the thump of a 4 stroke. I have a KLR 650.

It's like you're watchig the past, but in 4K :D That place is beautiful beyond words!

[@OneDownFourUp]

It's definitely one of my favorite places to ride.

I LOVE old vehicles, especially motorcycles! I have an 03XR250R I ride and cherish. Your XL250 is absolutely beautiful. You clearly take great care of it!

Thanks!

If I remember your build right, you used a TL250 bottom end for the trials gear box. It sure tractors through the rough stuff like it does. Nice ride. I did that trail once while in the Air Force, stationed at the now closed George AFB, in Victorville, CA. Rode an '81 XL500, fully loaded with camping gear. Wish I had the balls to do it again at 66 years old, but I think those days are behind me. My first ever motorcycle I bought with my own money was a '72 XL250. Very capable ride.

That’s cool! It’s definitely not an easy trail especially with camping gear. The TL gear ratios are good for the type of riding I do where it’s slower on the trails but still has higher gears for the road.

I made that ride from the Tahoe side in 1969.

[@OneDownFourUp]

That’s cool, there are a lot of ohv trails on the Tahoe side I haven’t ridden yet.

Hi is this trail open all year we’ve nothing like that in England just slightly gealous

[@OneDownFourUp]

It’s open all year but usually gets a lot of snow in the winter. It snowed a couple days after we finished the trail.

You in ashville ? Ok over there?

[@OneDownFourUp]

We made it, just without utilities for now, but they're slowly getting all the down powerlines and trees cleaned up. Thanks.

Pretty sure with that outfit this is considered Larping.

[@OneDownFourUp]

Thanks!
