    Depends on how you look at it. Again, I’ve got maybe 7-8 years of riding experience and was very good about staying in my limitations. Whereas an atv, sxs or an improperly built LT truck can give you a false sense of security and then you really get hurt.


    Surprise, AZ! Phoenix area.

    Nice! Enjoy it.

    I have had a bunch of fun up in the mountains on the service roads with my old DRZ. Been looking for the last year plus in getting another similar bike because it has to be plated (license plate) to ride up there. Get a group of guys and ride all day on some open stretch or stuff like flag pole. Damn good time sliding around a hairpin, tree infested mountain turn without knowing whats on the other side. Sometimes nothing, other times a vehicle coming at you. There is still a trail up there that we did and I cannot for the life of me find it on a map. This is why I want another bike, to get out and find it again. Was cool zipping along on top of a ridge line that dropped off on both sides.

    Wishing you all luck on the move.

    I’ve considered that too, a dual sport. Maybe one of each so I can have my cake and eat it too.

    Too bad I’m a nerd. Next year though, I’ll be a lot closer.

    Apparently! I’ve never heard of them but I guess they were one of the well known companies back in the 2000s.

    The Not-A-Build Tundra is getting kinda buildy. There's hope for OP yet.

    Further back than that. In the mid-90s they were high-line car audio. I believe they only made amps at the time. I had a gi-normous five-channel in one of my cars. Can't even remember which one. I wonder if they're still considered high-line. Seems all the good brands from that era sold out to some extent.

    From what I gather they’re a solid bang for the buck reliable product, or at least the kit that I got is.
