Long time industry guy Jay Clark loves to ride moto and trail, with his now advancing age he is looking to do more dual sport riding. In many areas of our country riding spots are going away and street legal dual sport bikes will allow you to get more fun rides in that can be good for your mental health. This 2024 GasGas ES 500 dual sport Garage Build is just the trick. After selling his older EXC bikes, Jay found some great deals from a local dealership with big rebates this past fall. It was time for an ultimate on/off-road build, but I didn’t know if I was ready for what transpired.
