Hard panniers SUCK because you hit your shins on them st least once a day!
High tire pressure will make you dirt nap....
You'll never have the right bike to be part of the "in" crowd..... (KLR, Yamaha, Beta, Chiang Chang....) ::)
No matter which bike you decide to ride that day,.......you will find something to make you wish you had ridded the other one.
What me work for me is does not necessarily work for someone else.
Pack everything you own because the other ill prepared riders in your group aren't carrying anything.
Don't cut both tendons in your left index finger pitting an avocado before your very first fall rally ride! :o
don't worry about what to pack if you ride with Dan, he's got it covered...
If you think that part that needs replacing will last one more ride, it won't.
Eighty percent of your tire flats happen in the last twenty percent of the tire.
Don't judge a rider's ability by the bike he/she brings to the ride
don't judge a riders ability by their age either!
Optimum gear ratio and throttle setting for any trail can be found by increasing speed until you crash, then back off the throttle 1/8 turn.

Spoken by the late, great great Rally driver, Collin McRea. "Drive as fast as you can till you crash, then back off just a little."

Still my favorite rally driver and his co driver, Nicky Grist was by far the bravest man in racing.
It's always good to have a "no drama Jap bike" parked in the corner
for when both "Euro-Trash" bikes have issues the same week >:(
Not butt hurt; just throwing out a word of caution
What happened to the princess?

Wait, Wait,.............I thought she was going too fast on some single track, peed herself when she got scared. It's not her fault. :o
Small tear/fatigue in the coolant hose. Not a big deal but down 1.5 week until new hoses ordered and installed.
She rode home in the truck
I suppose when the coolant hoses are made from rejected pasta, stuff like that will happen.
you can only boil it for so long at it goes to mush. It was bound to happen.

True but if you have to spend a night in the forest, at least you can snack on your coolant hoses.

Ah, well that explains a number of things, including where the leak came from.
