    A place where after the best mototrip of my life, the girl who's given me a go ahead on a lifetime of adventure says "I do" to join me for the ride!

    It's been a damn good month. More to come, enough for now.

    Also known locally as Bugs Bunny on a stick.

    Looks like you had a great time & saw a lot of country. Get over in 2 years & see some of the desert on the way to the Off Centre Rally at Forrest in W.A. in August 2016

    Well done, man. You know how to have yourself an adventure. Truly inspirational.

    Thanks to all of you on the other side of the world for taking care of my favorite local riding bud. You guys really know how to look after a fellow ADV inmate.

    Now that Pandaman's back stateside with all this new-found experience I bet I could learn a thing or two next time we hit the trails. Whatcha up to this weekend, Ben? ;)

    Congratulations

    But for some reason, this celebratory pic seems to be the only one in the last 20 pages or so without the trademark ear-to-ear smile

    You're both looking like you just reversed over the cat

    Can we add in Idyllwild, Borrego Springs, Palomar, and Ortega Hwy while we're at it to complete the loop? Haha

    Noice Ben,
    Looks like you'll need another bike for your future better half...

    LukeB is on the money with the WR250, or there is the rare venerable Honda XL250 Degree for the shorter rider (electric start, 6 speed, dohc, 4 valve, water cooled)
