nklr - 3 day dualsport ride from reno -> vegas

[Swampy]

I'm running the 606 rear with the 193 front. I agree with Gino about hooking up in the sand, they work wonders here in Florida, I'm very impressed. Since I also ride in the carolinas, Tennessee and Georgia, The tires have seen all types of conditions, and contrary to what Gino says, I've had no problem in the wet. The stick well. I like 'em, and I'll be putting on another set when the time comes....

I got a 606 on the back I got from Fred in Moab. If you mainly ride in the dirt, it is an absolute dream. I laugh at sand when I see it. Just gas it and cruise right through it. On the street, the two problems are wear and noise. You sound like a 4x4 coming down the road with big tires. Seems to handle fine, although I do get some highspeed wobble under certain road conditions like rain grooves, which I never experienced with the stockers. That could also have something to do with the Kenda on the front.

I had a Trailmax on the rear for about 2K miles, but took it off. It didn't provide adequate traction on dry roads, wet roads, or gravel. Dreas

Hello: I found the clipping below on another MC list (BMW GS). I thought I would post it here in case anyone was interested. Actually, I am interested but would need to find a partner from the Colorado area willing to trailer the bikes out and back (it can snow here in the mountains in Oct). I have no financial interest in the organization and know nothing of it. Tom V. A13. ************************************************************************ The Flamingo 500 is a 540 mile dualsport ride from the Flamingo Hotel in Reno to the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas. It's a three day ride starting on the first Saturday in October and ends Monday afternoon in Las Vegas. The October ride is especially for heavy dualsport bikes and has more of a "touring " pace than a race or rally. The Flamingo 500 is a fundraiser for Real Life Adventures (reallifeadventures.com) All proceeds go toward our student motorcycle program and equipment. Entry fee is $200. Included is the support vehicles, trail guide, remote fuel fill ups, trail snacks and drinks. Also, free bike transport back from Las Vegas to your Bay Area Homefor the first 5 who request it with their deposit. Not included is restaurant meals and lodging, and bike transport unless arrangements are made with REAL LIFE ADVENTURES. All riders are invited to raise funds for the program - usually through per mile pledges from friends and business contacts. There are incentives and thank you gifts starting at the $500 level. There is no minimum fundraising level. Reserve your space with a $100 deposit, that is non refundable after Sept 15. Terrain is varied, the most challenging being several miles of deep sand - a challenge for the GS rider, but certainly doable for the intermediate or advanced GS rider. Plan on 10-12 hours a day with the rescue truck being available approx every 75 miles. This is our 12th Flamingo 500 and as the leader of them all, I have logged over 6000 miles on this route alone. Every time it is interesting and I can't wait to go. Ghost towns and goldmines are common, wild horses, stunning desert views, and temperate weather - usually. It's a challenge, it's an achievement, and it's a Real Life Adventure. Hope to hear from all interested riders soon!
