| Ok, so at least I'm living in the most liberal town in Texas, which is as close as anyone can get to the Pac NW! I was raised in Seattle, hung out at a crusty chopper shop on Rainier Ave, dropped out of Franklin High, and rode my first dual sport at age 15 at the local garbage dump by Lake Washington. My dad ran a French restaurant, and still has the oldest wine shop in Seattle on Queen Anne. So I moved to Austin to attend graduate school and ended up staying here, now working for the state legislature. But, my roots and most of my family are still in Seattle! Thanks for starting up a nice forum where I can get some of the flavor of Pac NW dual sport riding! Very awesome! Come on down and explore Big Bend sometime! My first dual sport motorcycle, at my dads house right on the border of Bothell and Seattle:  My TAT trip:  Some of the best riding in Texas, Big Bend Ranch State Park:  Me and my little boy, camping in East Texas:

| Don't worry Shane. Your DR, even though lower than a BRP, still moves and accelerates like a crotch rocket! Way to go on your set up! |
