Commuting, sport rides, touring, the occasional track day, pretty much everything. On both the GS and the DRZ (though I have yet to do anything but commute and ride the interstate on the DRZ thus far).

On the street with the GS usally go find some twisties, ride all over the Niagara Region here in Ontario, Canada. Wheely and do some stunt rides.

On the dirt with the YZ450F, race motocross in the Western New York Series. Practice and ride on any and all tracks that are available in the area. Used to ride trails but they are all developed now by rich people with golf balls for brains  :2guns: . Oh and we hit freestyle ramps a bit too. Also wheely contests often come up  :icon_rolleyes:.

That's what you get for mocking me. Target fixation is a Buddha Loves You, no?

Glad you're alright..

Hang out there, we may flame, but we don't hate.

My attitude is in serious need of readjustment, and I'm ok with that.

Been mostly riding to work - that's a good 40 miles or so each way.

And sometimes finding a few local twisty roads for fun, too.
