I just got an 05 RED because I heard they were the FASTEST.... just kidding ( I found a decent deal on it after some looking ) and I want to know how to find any organized or unorganized rides close to where I live. Maybe there is a D.S Rider group close to me?? I'm a very new rider and I am in the process of getting the few mods I need to go off-pavement. Any advice would be helpful. Dan

C'mon klr riders... Yes the klr will do wheelies, even w/ my 160lbs skinny self. Even easier with a lady friend on the back. So even the fa(bigger guys) riding) ] Blip, and then twist full throttle around 3300 rpm. Gotta admit that after a tire change to a DR650 I tried this same procedure(klr650) I almost flipped over onto my back and got my face a little white. That owner said he didn't think his DR would do that. What in the world he and others were riding before that and do wheelies baffles me. I still can't or am afraid to ride wheelies on much more powerfull machines. This info coming from a Ts185, klr250, CB500 nighthawk, klr650,klr650 owner(one at a time) owner. --- In DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com, Ronald Criswell wrote:
