I don't recall ever being able to do 'real' 2 or 3 hour rides from March through to late November. I went on one last ride up Southwood 13 yesterday. For the last 6 weeks I've taken my boy to hockey in the morning, and then gone out riding in the afternoon. I'm glad I did not take this season off like I did last year!
As I put the bike away though I am still not 100% wild about the DL650. It's an 06 and I recently put a chain on. It has lingering pulsing/surging that I know a few others have dealt with. The bike honestly only rides smoothly over 80km/h. I will drag it in to the dealer in the spring and try again to get it fixed. They were convinced an old chain caused the jerky ride.
