Just the Versys 650 and a good parking spot.

Reminder as the days get shorter: deer are out at dusk. Slowed way down on the way home and saw six of them.
@kbarrett65 riding 2022 Kawasaki Versys 650 Turkey Run State ParkThis one started as a day ride and turned into three days.
The second morning I woke up in Marshall to fog so thick I couldn't see the bike from the motel door. By ten it burned off and the riding was perfect.
Somewhere past Marshall I realized I hadn't seen another vehicle in half an hour. Just me, the Versys 650 and a lot of open road.
180 miles total. Already planning the next one.

Winter prep started early this year on the Versys 650. Fuel stabilizer, tender, and a good wash.
