Well I was off to the Catskills this weekend.
Did not know what I wanted to bring.
The quad or the DRZ
I ended up packing the DRZ in the pickup to see what it was capable of.
Friday I left around noon with my gear packed and the DRZ in the back of the truck.
I got to the house around 2 or so.
Took all the gear out of the house and unloaded the bike.
I started her up made a left on 30 and headed to the woods. as i headed up the mountain I realized how much fun the bike really is. I spent the rest of the day do wheelies and hitting anything that would send me into the air. ;D
On Saturday I headed back out. took a tour through town. and did some time on secondary roads. What a blast. I then went back up the mountain and met up with a few friends. I hung out for a while then was going to go back to the house to get some lunch. As I came out on the road. The back of the bike felt really weird and kicked out funny.
I looked down and saw I had a flat on the rear tire.
I limped the bike back to the house mad that riding was over for the weekend. Oh well! </shrugs it off>
Here is a shot of the bike on top of the mountain.

I like to go hiking, sometimes with others and sometimes alone. It's always in the back of my mind. I recommend one of these, it's always made me feel at ease.

EPIRB is a great idea.
I did have other people with me, just not on bikes.
