DJ_MI, You're welcome to try my CRF450L if you're ever in Texas. Or if this summer I go up north..... We have family and friends in Wisconsin and that's a FAR better place to spend the summer than Hell's back doorstep (TX in the summer). I'm guessing the MI stands for Michigan?
A trip up north to do the TWAT and then the UP would be a great way to spend summer vacation. If, by this summer, you're still on the KLX300 but curious about the CRF450L, and I just happen to be in the general vicinity, we could meet up, swap bikes for a bit, and let you see if the CRF450L is for you.
Something tells me you're probably not going to be riding very much for a while pretty soon. Are y'all under snow yet?
Thanks for the offer!
If you do make it to the UP I might be able to meet up with you. The riding up there is amazing. I made it up there last year and this year. I'm sure I'll be back next year too.
Obviously I can't ride as much in the winter but I don't think I went more than a week last winter without riding. It's tough for sure but I'll take what I can get.
