Nice!
I traded my R6 racebike for a Kawi 250 a couple months ago, but I don't see putting in the effort to load everything up and drive to a place to ride it. Might be time to start looking for a KLR/etc for dualsport use.

I got a KTM 300 xc-w-six days last year and plated it.
I love that thing! The turn signals are destroyed now but no big to me as
I really only got it plated for those in between roads/campground

I'ts a blast! 2 of my buddies have commited. Now how do i fit 3 guys in my trailer 
I'd rate the Gulch as Novice with a few short Intermediate sections thrown in. Mostly flowy stuff, narrow trails with drop-offs on one side. Can't be bad as Mountain bikers are doing it....LOL(I am DYING to hit Naches but don't really know my way around....let me know!!I'm up at Walker at least 2x/monthalso did you see this? its on the map I was looking at to see what it looked like.

As far as I know we are only hitting the lower stuff and that should be all open. We do Tronsen ridge later in the year. That one beats me up.
