Newbie first dirt
 

My son got himself a 2008 KLR 650 this week
Seems I'm doing something right

Yesterday I took him for the first dirt ride
It rained in the morning so the roads were damp and some places a few marbles
He coped quite well with one or two spots where it went almost oops, but stayed up, traveled 40 to 50 km/h, taking it nice and slow

Seems the bug has bitten

A friend also with a Tenere and his son, also a KLR, joined us along the route

Lovely to see enjoying the pleasures together. Don't let your son ride your Tenere otherwise the klr may not be around for much longer I also see the tradition of a drink on a ride has not disappeared in SA. A bit unthinkable in the U.K. With too many people in a small space and our health and safety laws
