Oh that's fantastic! I was thinking of taking that tour, but decided
to wait a year until I caught a lot more twisty riding clue.
Please do give us all a detailed trip report.
I'm off first thing tomorrow morning for a week in the sierra's.
Staying at a cabin in Tahoe, take a few day trips.
Tomorrow's route is
Menlo Park
Niles Canyon Road
Tesla Road (Livermore - pashnit has a write up on it)
Cross the central valley and up 88
Sutter Ione Road (another pashnit)
Fiddletown Road (another pashnit.com)
continuing up 88 to 89 and into south lake tahoe.
It will be my first reasonably long solo in the mountains ride. Did
Baja California with some friends about a month ago (which makes me
think about dual sport bikes), and the Black Rock playa about 3 weeks
ago (again wishing for some minimal off-road capability).
Cheers!

No offense taken Paul,
Everyone (especially in a forum this broad) is more than welcome to
their opinions.
I don't really dislike the DR (in fact, if I had the scratch, and a
place to use it I'd probably own one).
My best biker bud Dave (and definitely an individual with more
dollars than sense if you know what I mean) just added one to his
fleet. He lives in Boise now and he plans to take full advantage of
the DR's highway and off road combination. He added it to an MV F4
1000, an FJR, and he's got deposits on both the 1078 Brutale and the
new V-Max. I keep pestering him to try a Speed Triple, but he
doesn't like the seat height.
I like to stir the pot on occasion, and I really think that if we
make enough noise in these forums that the folks that build the gear
will hear us.
I'm in the middle of getting ready to ride a long week in the
Spanish and French Pyrenees with Dave. We're doing the Edelweiss
tour. I'm riding a Multistrada, he's taking an ST3.

OK, fair enough. I didn't mean to make it sound antagonizing. I am a
Triumph guy, I'm musing over getting a 650 as a dual sport bike (not
as an "off road only" bike).
I sincerely doubt I would ever ride a 650 two-up except in an abnormal
situation (e.g. transporting another biker after a breakdown).
