Long story short about dual sport bikes on the Great Divide

The Adventure Cycling blog has a good, short article about dual sport guys riding the Great Divide.

Now, while I would hate seeing the Great Divide get overrun with motorized vehicles, I don't think the occasional dual-sport motorcycle rider is anything to get upset about. After all, these guys and gals are not Hells' Angels; in fact, they share a spirit of adventure much like the one possessed by long-distance bikepackers.
