Maintenance, clean and fuel, ready to go. Rode four hours today with daughter. Gorgeous spring day in NH. The top of the hill where I live.

A little small for me, but runs great and was cheap. It will break 110 with my big ass on it and that is plenty fast for my middle aged corpus.

I don't really need a bike as big as my Wing and the "'ol lady" isn't going to get on board anyway. Claims shes too old. And yes, 110 is plenty these days..

So what is that? A dirt bike with contact point ignition? Something easy as possible to get parts for? Something that goes a hundred miles on a gallon of gas or eighty-five miles on a gallon of tequila?

Well, yes and no. Older dual sport, not easy to get parts for but that is something that needs to be addressed and dealt with in advance.

Got my SHTF bike.

Took it on the highway for the first time. The motor handles sixty just fine but the bikes a little light for the highway lol.
