Longtime friend of Firebolter, having shared countless miles on the road, he also introduced me to the dirt some years back. Fast forward 10 years or so and I finally got a plated dirt-worthy bike; 500EXC.

Leading up to that point, being a road and track rider with zero experience on the dirt, it saw no offroad miles the first couple years. Took some dirt riding courses last year and punctuated that with a ride on some trails outside of Charlottesville with a friend and his DRZ400. Trail popped out on the BRP and we rode it back into town. That was a great day of riding to say the least. Learned a lot as well.

Looking forward the KAT trip and will likely bring both the 500 EXC and RMZ250. Based on the riding experience of the group, sounds like I'll be bringing up the rear but will give a go at some of the hard sections. Should I become too much dead weight, will take the main route and reconnect.

Appreciate the invite; has been a great excused for ordering more gear.

Unless I am drinking, then I'll talk about all three at the same time...while naked and wearing only a helmet, boots, and nitrile gloves. It's how firebolter taught me all those nights sharing hotel rooms on our trips.
