So I jumped on a 96 WR250. Pretty excited to be on the dirt again and especially excited to be on a 2smoke again.

Can you guys recommend some good easy trails to get back into the swing of things? I rode a lot of offroad when I was a in high school. I was into DSs a bit in college but in the northeast there is no public land so riding was scarce. Im out here now and have a truck to go explore.

I live in SLC by the U. From the research I have done it seems the bountiful trails are the closest to me. I have watched a few vids on youtube from there and they seem fairly technical. I have a friend in American Fork who has invited me thursday afternoon to ride the trails in AF canyon. I told him I need to take it easy for a while to get back into the swing of things. Are there any other trails under an hour from me? I am planning on riding after work atleast 2 nights a week thats why I am wondering about what is close.

I have accumulated almost all the gear I need. I would really like a new helmet since my visor got smashed in the move and it looks ridiculous now hahaha. And I need a new rear tire at some point. But I am very excited to get out there for sure!

Bountiful will be the closest to you. Other then that Mineral fork in Big Cottonwood Canyon, Midway, 5 mile pass and Dell are all within an hour from SLC

New top secret government project in my garage. 1952 Ford 8n.

I grew up on an 8n, Same color and everything, his name was henry. My grandfather bought it new and it is still used daily, only one rebuild.

I went to get my feet wet on the 2smoke today at the skyline trail. I really missed two strokes and dirt!! I had a blast, I was taking it really easy since the last time I rode offroad was about 9 years ago. What amazing views!!! Pics cant do it justice but I will post anyways. I plan on heading to AF canyon tomorrow evening to ride with a buddy from there. Utah is really impressing me thus far.

Clear land. Mow pasture. Plow snow. Till garden. Tinker. Restore................Repeat.

You just need some chickens and bee hives now... you may have enough space for dairy goats but that's a labor commitment that is what child labor is all about i guess.

Harcus and I killed it today. Pics would just make you jealous, and we rode too hard to take any, so just the same, it's nice out there.

Suckas! I'm riding to Yellowstone tomorrow with my brothers and dad. Got some street tires on the 690. Yawn.....
Bees are definitely on my list for next spring. You should see my back field now. It's all green.

As Kev said, we went out & tested a few bike mods yesterday. His BRP was reborn after some ahh....altercations. I had added a new JD Jetting tune box to the 500 EXC. We got in 225 mi from my house. Not bad for starting at noon. Only a few pics due to unwillingness to slow down.

There were incidents of Orange abuse spotted in upper Red Creek...



Timber canyon, etc...



Much smoke n ash from the sadness down south...



Meditating at the turn to head back north. Note Kev pensing in the shade..



And the mileage on the EXC dropped to 55 mpg from 66. As suspected. Physics.

Awesome! You have some land?

I'm doing the GISkev chicken/farm/garden in my massive 1/3 acre lot.

How do you deal with such horrible mileage! Now you're up to what, 50+ hp and 55mpg? Seems like the ultimate "adventure" bike to me. That bike can cruise slab adequately, isn't a 500+ lb pig, and no route needs consideration of bike choice.

Now where the hell am I going to store the 9-fitty? Looks like Kev might be the winner winner chicken dinner for my fly-n-rides. I only have about 10 days to get the bitch (950) all sussed out and lubed up before heading to Utardia. I may bring the 300 as well - anyone interested in some 2-smoke'n in July?
