Some select photos from the 2013 Touratech Adventure Motorcycle Rally this weekend in Plain, WA (Wenatchee County). It was a real treat to really ride off road for the first time, and on a capable bike such as the Husqvarna 650 Terra.

Many more photos (and a full article) from the rally soon!
The day got infinitely better when my new Icon 1000 Akorp jacket was delivered! Le happiness, le sigh!
