You may have already seen the Rubicon Trail video:

Damn you Jenny,
I hadn't seen that video and you make a hell of a case.
What are my actual priorities? I guess that's why I'm here. I want a bike that will safely, comfortably, and reliably get me anywhere in the world I happen to be in.
For a time, it seemed obvious that the DR650 was the best choice.
The very early parts of your video reminded me of a road I took in Guatemala, which was challenging on a V-Strom with street tires. I barely made it. And when I watched your video I thought we were in the same boat until I saw the terrain you were taking that bike over.
You've made my decision even harder. Thanks.
Ugh.
Jamie
