What did you do on or to your other bike part 2

Thanks for the kind comments.  There are more photos and a bit more story if you're interested at advrider.

I've ridden the CB1100 over a good deal of OR and WA, but I have always been interested in exploring the gravel / hard packed forest service roads, most actually do-able on a street bike, although not preferred; but once you get on those you realize there are other roads and trails that simply require a better tool for the job.  My DR650 can do anything I've done on the KLX300, but the 75lb weight difference makes the KLX that much more manageable on the more challenging rocky climbs and descents.  It's really amazing just how fast one can fly over some rough terrain with decent suspension on these adv type bikes.  And I'm still a beginner.  Some of the guys I've ridden with this last year or two are really good.  Most surprising to me is how 50-70 miles on these BDR roads/trails can wear me out!  My lower back and knees are complaining today, but it's a very satisfying thing to do. 

But even though I'm enjoying the non-paved riding the last few years more than ever, I'm still very happy to have the CB1100 for everything else.
