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


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?

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

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.

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


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".

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.

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.

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


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.

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


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

Here's the link to the message that has my address info.
http://www.nestreetriders.com/forum/476588-post17.html

We are shooting for wheels up at 11AM. Feel free to arrive anytime after 10:30. I'll probably be home even earlier if someone needs to do something after they get here.

Please add your name to the list below as a definite or maybe, and add your bike just so we see what's coming.

Tony (KLR650) - Definite
Bill (KLR650) - Definite

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




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.
