as stated a last minute ride got organized with all parties being on the same page "social distancing wise". As easy as bringing your own beer n hot dog, or in my case Ribs! (lifes short). Six riders on wee tiny bikes and myself, on my new to me, just spent-a ton- of hours going over 13 ktm 690. Very fun day with surprisingly little mud and no snow/ice!
Seems odd that in these days of staying indoors and keep your distance etc. and there has never been so many people out on the dew drop area. Nothing like a good pandemic to get people out in the fresh air.

Here's Peter stopped before the last drop to the lake, not really sure what he's pointing at.
(direct slip into post, largeish pana, whoo hoo!)

surprisingly mud free day with perfect weather. Was nice to get out of the house or as my friend called it "the chamber". Fun day for all on this early spring ride out for weenies over a fire on the beach. And the monstrous power of the 690 did nothing but ad to the fun.
And, last big pic. of the day. Getting changed in my truck box I looked up to see everyone in a large circle so took a pana. of the unusual scene..
We all kept our distance while telling lies, laughing and having a beer, except those under 19. And Mur. Who drank nothing, as there wasn't any wine, really really cheap wine. har! (true).
Even our trucks kept at a big distance.

Thx ian. And yes that beauty is a beast! According to dirt bike magazine it's the highest horsepower single cylinder engine ever built. Better power to weight ratio than the 990 and is approx 200 lbs lighter!
And got a wee boo boo on the first ride. Perfect, predisatered.
