Never ridden a KLR, but would probably agree. Did some riding on VERY loose gravel/dirt roads today and it was not fun. Strom wandered all over the damn place! I would like to get some knobby tires for it sometime and see how it handles dirt and gravel with better tires.

Fwiw I spent a little money on suspension and a couple other upgrades. Ditched the lights, kickstand, etc and had a decent trail/track bike (with elect start)in my DRZ...

Anakee 2s or tourrances are good in between tires

It really depends on the bike.

I never thought I would ride any kind of sport bike... then I rode a friend's Vmax. Sweeeeet! :rockout:

How many days 'till the rally? 8?

Cool. I'll keep that in mind when the stock TrailWings wear out later this year.

Mine are a bitch, but it seems like everything on my bike is a bitch.

Glad you got your brakes figure out Rae.
