Temperatures were in the high 50's today, so I decided to get the WR250X out and take it for a ride. It's been cold and snowy here, so I hadn't had the bike out since early December!
Unfortunately it was windy as hell so I got blown all over the place, and the roads were covered with salt. I still managed to get about 100 fun-filled miles in. I had a close call on Riverview Road... as you can see from the pics above, a large tree got blown down across the road probably 5-10 minutes after I'd ridden by. Close call!
Once I got home, the WR250X had a nice coating of road salt over it so I had to give it a quick bath before stashing it back in the garage. Temps are supposed to get down into the teens again with snow in the forecast, so that might be the last ride I get to do for awhile.
On a side note, I noticed that the rear tire on the bike is shot. Time for a new one. It only lasted about 3000 miles. Thank you twisty roads! I ordered up a new Bridgestone BT-090 Battlax, which is what came on the bike. I really like the stock tires so didn't see a need for something different.
