I couldn't resist riding on a day like this.
I had to give the new boots a try and see how the healing foot felt after a quick ride.
Only a few pics from the old cistern...my only stop.
View to the East.
View to the West.
And, an attempt at a self portrait.....It looks like I'm wincing in pain from kneeling down on my bad foot...

Looks like a great ride man. What kind of exhaust are you running? Perfect day for it!

Are they they the Forma Dominators? If so what are your thoughts? I really like mine, quality boot at a great price.

Did you do what they call daves mods on your XRL? Like jetting drilling the slide and all that? If so what jetting combo are you running? I'm at 152/55 but am going to order a bunch of jets from pjmotorsports.com as to adjust for conditions.

Thanks for sharing!
I'm still snowed in and appreciate being able to see others out riding already.

Yep, got the Forma Dominators from Brian.
They are awesome right out of the box, great fit, comfortable and good price too.
A lot of boot for the $$$....

I'm at 1100 here and tried 160 but it was way rich. So I'm going to shoot for 155 or 158 and see what happens.
