Last I checked, the KLX250S is a dual-sport bike. If I had wanted straight Enduro, I would have bought one.
We do exactly the same thing when we're camping. We go pretty remote, and on the KLX we go exploring on logging, and mining roads. Wife's not crazy about that seat.

Hey...look at all those bus passengers with their noses pressed up against the windows...LOL!
Um,,,,,, I wouldn't call it stalking. It's just random coincidence, I do have one pic of you NOT riding your bike.

And Dan, I'm still wondering how you got this pic of me practice riding at my home. Did you use some kind of "nanny cam" or something?

Has she ever noticed the pegs aren't at the same height or angle? Look from the back of the bike with the pegs down... you'll see what I mean.

Default Rear Pegs Work Great For

Uses for the rear pegs:
1. Attaching the GL Coyote (luggage) lower strap. Great for a camping trip.

2. Poor buggers in a bad place. This spring, I carried out a rider we found on the trail. He had a broken collar bone - OUCH. Carried him from the trails to the parking lot where his buddies could take him to hospital. I took him out using another rider's quad - he sat on the back while I drove. If it had not been for the other rider there on his quad, which I used instead, Mr. Broken Bones would have been carted out on the KLX.

3. Passengers. My wife takes a spin around with me from time to time. I think she likes it. My son rides back there when he gets a ride to school from me.
