Took a little end of the year camp -n- ride. Met some friends up at an epic riding area. They were camping for 4 days and I needed to come home the third day after riding so instead of driving my truck all the way up there I rode my fantastic TE511 home Saturday evening so i could be home for my B-day party Sunday. My wife thought i was crazy, was actually fun. So basically I rode up in a buddies truck, rode 180 miles of technical single track for 3 days and rode my bike 78 miles home. FUN!!! Not many bikes I would even consider doing this but the TE511 did it perfectly, ran perfect all weekend, never had one issue, was always accommodating and fun to be on and was very EZ on gas. This is a fantastic do it all machine I am reminded of every time I take it out. Always a joy and GREAT mount to be on for about anything. TE250/310 would do this but suck on the 78 mile650 mph ride home. The new TR650 would be fantastic for the ride home but near impossible to do this trail system on and if you even could it would not be fun. Want a Ds bike that can ride the gnarliest single track and then ride home... TE449/511 baby.
