New to Dual Sport and it's the neighbor's fault. (Minnesota)

Hey all! I'm living south of Minneapolis, Minnesota where farm roads, and service roads are everywhere. It all started when my neighbor who had two dual sports (early/mid 90's TW200 and a 2009 KLX250) was looking for a riding partner to escape on the weekends with. No broke-back mountain funny-business, just a good ol time out in god's country. Anyways, I got fed up riding the TW200 WOT while he toys with the throttle. Also, I'm 6'1" and the TW ain't exactly a proper fit. Kinda like riding a pocket bike, if you ask me. Dont get me wrong, it was great for getting a feel for the dirt, but it's not my first choice. Anyways, one thing led to another and I found myself trailering off a like new looking, gently used, '08 WR250R with 3005 miles on it.

Now to just school myself on the ins and outs of the bike and get some miles under my belt.

welcome to a sweet ride but you cant blame the neighbor, sounds like just the toy for your area. i wish i had abundant roads like that nearby. just sorry you had to trailer it home

It was either Trailer the bike home, ride double for 45min. with my neighbor (again, no broke-back mountain stuff) or wait until tuesday to pick it up. And I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have gone for option 2. Besides, the chain needed some TLC.

Now you'll be toying with the throttle while your buddy tries to keep up with you!

I have family up there, you will love that bike. Oh and some mods and he will be wanting to upgrade or mod his. Lol!
