Not that bad. Still upright.
This doesn't last forever, so do it while you can.

An XT500 was my first bike after a few years without a bike when my kids were young. I had great fun on mine in the forests around where I live. One thing led to another and after a couple of years I was racing enduros on modern machinery. Great bikes in their day and really easy to work on.

Here's me on my DR350, ( when I had it ), trying to look like I know what I'm doing.
Clearly I've failed. Nothing like your picture mind.
