Next Sunday, April 6th, Dual-Sport/Adv bike ride

[theothersean]

When you say paved roads and fire roads, is that what you really mean? or are there some nasty wash outs and babyhead rocks strewn about?
I'm not saying that I'm definately going yet, but if I did go I'm trying to decide wether to bring the Vstrom 1000 or the wr250r.
You are talking about a KLR650 ride and neither of the bikes I have fit the category, which one is the closest?

[TTD]

This will be real easy stuff for you, but there's a couple of places that you will not want the Vstrom.

[ChR1s]

11 AM? Too hardcore for me. I'm out.

Well as long as you don't plan on doing over 70mph I should be able to keep up.

[ChR1s]

Sean, did you take swap the OE tires yet? I wouln't mind disposing of them for you if they're still meaty.

[TTD]

Well as long as you don't plan on doing over 70mph I should be able to keep up.

I'll be shocked if we go over 50 on any of these roads.

[theothersean]

The drz needed new tires, I gave the oems off the WR as part of the deal . I have D606's on the wr now.

The guy that bought the drz is down in middlebury CT. He saw the add on thumpertalk, so "kinda local".

[hammadown]

You in buddy? I'm planning to be loaded up and heading out a little before 9. Let me know

[TTD]

This is cool...looks like we'll have 4 to 6 bikes, which is perfect.

[Ken C]

Hmmmm. I doubt I can get my trailer by then (still a six foot mountain of snow in the way), but if I can I'll join in on the Drz.

[TheIglu]

You can borrow my truck if you can't get to your trailer

C'mon, it'll be fun!

Nate, you're coming and that's all there us to it

[theothersean]

Looks like there will be 2 of us, that is if you don't mind a girl riding a KLX250.
so are we meeting at 11am or riding out at 11am?

[hammadown]

Schweet, looks like we have a nice little grou here!

I don't mind, but Renee will be pissed.

I sure wish her bike would come in already.

I'd like to head out for 11, so people can arrive anytime after 10:30, I guess.

I just got back from a little "pre ride", everything is looking good. With GPS it should go even better since I kept getting lost.

What bike is she getting?

[TTD]

KLX250s

Nice choice.

when is it supposed to be in , and more importantly why couldn;t you find one on the floor?

I mean I only had to go to 8 dealers to find a wr on the flooor

[TTD]

The paperwork is in, whatever that means....

I think it's within a week of being ready, but won't be here for Sunday's ride.

Which is OK, since I'd rather put a few goodies (skid plate, handguards) on before she rides/falls.

[TTD]

OK... let's start firming up this ride...

Here's the link to the message that has my address info.

NOW you're talkin'!

Chris (KTM 990 Adventure) - fuckin' aye!

[TTD]

I hate that Freakin' trail and always make sure I'm doing it the other way... downhill!

In case anyone is wondering... we are definitely NOT doing anything like that.

I prefer to ride my bike... not pick it up.
