As the riding season ends for some...
Many of us are coming up on the end of another riding season, what areas have you progressed to satisfaction and what areas need attention next riding season?
My main thing is to hit the track a few times next year, BUT with one kid in college and another going next fall I'm just happy I've been able to keep the bikes lol... I want to explore the many other roads within Western NC and Eastern TN that I have yet to ride as well. |

More mileage for me. I'm tired of having just 1000-2000 miles per year when I used to get more than this when I first bought my bike.

I REALLY need to get better about riding off road... I suck!
I wanna do at least a hand full of all day off road rides... not just riding in the local single track... but TRIPS... get more comfortable with doing my own maintenance... the DRZ is the perfect bike to do that on... add at least 6 states to my tally... (started over with the DRZ) |

I finally got my confidence back after going down 2 years ago. I no longer think I'm going to eat pavement every time I get on the bike. I will probably ride every day it's over 35 in the mornings, so the winter won't be that long. Next year I will be concentrating on body position, lean angle and smoother shifts.

Somebody go deer hunting and get one for me. Was going around a wide open corner and it hopped in front of me. I avoided it, went off road, but there was a 4 inch difference between the road and shoulder and I didn't make it back on the road and slapped down on my right side.

I see them every morning on the way to work. I just bullet down the road at 80mph. Figure if I'm going to hit one a second time, somebody's not going to get up.
