Nice scribbling, Pete-
Some days your job is 171/2 times better than my own.
Others, 22x better.
Nice point about coming from the street into the dirt, vs dirt to street regarding KTM.
Beautiful scenery, no? Moving back to Tucson soon, where theres plenty of room for those cylinders sticken out, whereas:
..Ive always turned to look at the NYC traffic warrior on a GS- just to see if any scraping of cab would occur while wrestling through rushhour congestion.
Off to Walmart to hoard giant sacks of grain,(panic!) purchase a rifle, and see what I cant poach, then sell, to afford a new GS, here in midtown Manhattan...

Oh, Im a happy hypocrite..born up at St Lukes near the cathedral in Manhattan, grew up in Tucson, back to evil big city in 1989, back to Naked Pueblo this summer.
I love tucson for the sheer variety:
..huge mountains loom near(southern most ski mountain in U.S.A.), some similar brainless housing sprawl, some old downtown center, plenty of old, nice barrios near downtown, big dumb college sports fix(go..um..wildkittens, Lute), and really- all the scenery that elevations between riverbottom and 10,000 ft in Sanoran desert can provide.
But the love/hate joys of NYC are hard to quit..
I want both each day.
Indeed, NYC still full of crazy square footage that sane people will pay for. As stated before- I wish I could afford the crazy price of new GS, to better achieve peak sanity.

..only way to find a victor is make em send a champion clown from each faction, then indian wrestle(on backs, side by side at hip, facing opposite, legs up on count of 3) to find prize winning poseur.
This works for when opposing "stunter" blobs meet on Sat nights, here in the gentle city..
