It's better to remain silent and be considered a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

Thanks to a friends help we got a trailer modification done just in time for a camping trip at Loon Lake, start of the famous Rubicon Trail. A bit populated for my taste but it was a social distancing 50th birthday party for a friend of my better half. After nearly six months on the XT225 and WR250R the CT2 ergonomics were bad and the suspension felt terrible, yet it was still fun to ride and after a couple days those complaints were unnoticeable once I was used to it again. Engine ran like a champ from 5,000' in elevation to 7,800' max, about 100 miles spread over three days, although the last day was cut short by the kickstart return spring coming off again, seems to be the bane of this bike. Didn't touch the Rubicon as rough jeep roads tend to be tedious, as do jeep traffic jams, thankfully no shortage of other trails out there.

For those with high resolution displays, there is larger resolution eye candy up on my website here.

Haha thanks Schu, strange to say that motorcycle riding is relaxing on a relative scale :)

You had to work a lot harder at it than I did, started in the early days of digital and instant feedback is priceless.

In the early 70’s there was a guy from one of those Eastern Europe countries that had a photo shop In Burbank, he did excellent BW development and enlightenment. I won a few amateur shows from his work, I was never able to do as good with my cheap enlarger.
