    Iowa pig farmers and Wisconsin cheeze heads too. The horror!

    Just kidding. I grew up in SE Iowa and spent a lot of time contributing to the Old Style economy listening to polka at the big beer hall in La Crosse, so have a fondness for that region. I hope our paths cross while you're down here enjoying the good weather and great riding.

    Great bike. Not much for serious dual sporting but do well on maintained gravel/dirt roads. And you can stack serious miles up on one on pavement.
    I've got access to one if you'd like a test ride.

    The VStrom was a six fifty. It was an absolute pig in dirt and gravel and virtually Un-rideable in mud. Great street bike though
