Been thinking about something along these lines lately. No illusions of jumping the triples or threading the needle on goat paths with it, but a seriously fun fire road bomber with big trip potential. In the meantime, the old Triumph is about to get a little winter lovin'...

I've been thinking the same thing recently Bill. The new Triumph 800XC really got me excited on a dual purpose bike (but not sure I'd want to drop $8k+ on a bike I'd be beating the shit out of). I bet there's a lot of cool spots that you could check out on a bike like that.
I have been looking at those pipe for my Sporty for over a year, cannot seem to justify $1200 worth of pipes on a $7000 bike though.
Lux, I agree on the pipes. I'd have to wait for a used set to come along or build something similar.
Matt, I hear you, I also dig the BMW 800 GS. I think I'd rather take the hard way though and build one out of a bike that was never intended for such abuse.
