My mate gave me a free, new set of trail wings for the XR650R so I could go on an adventure ride with him later this month. Oh my giddy friggin aunt, it’s hilarious. It was fun on knobblies but you couldn’t stop and I was always a cheap arse about wearing them out (which it would do in a spirited half an hour...)
The trail wings grip, then slide, then wheelie and sometimes all at the same time. I can stop in a straight line and generally be a total twat without wearing them out in a hot minute.
At 42 I am still not responsible enough for a dirt bike with street rubber...sooo much fun.
