Well, while you English Nazi's correct my goofiness, (wink) I will only confess to the advanced stage of dyslexia, = lexdysia. You decide which one I 'own'. While you ponder that-(grin) Tomorrow morning, I am going to take my bear spray, my KLR, and the kitchen sink, and go to Red Lodge, MT by Thursday. I am going to ride the Chief Joseph Highway, and cross the Bear Tooth Pass on Thursday. Then I am going to tell tall tales by the campfire with KLR Ross L of Williston, ND, When we get tired of that, about 0800 on Friday, the KLR will reverse the direction and RIDE the two passes, Again, on Friday. No, I won't be thinking about all you KiLeRista's at work. not once. So there. Did I mention the bear spray? Old white guys taste like chicken. cough. yeah, DOT, DOD toemaytoe, tomaaatoe Fred, please answer the phone if I call. HEY! (I usually do. sigh) Judd- I took 1/3 off and then put it back. Sept in MT/WY is a crap shoot. Sept of 2008m the Wx nearly trapped the KLRbugeater and I while crossing Union Pass; started snowing 4 hours before the forecast and it become unpleasant to say the least. It rapidly became dicey, ; We were pretty wet, and John was in early stages of hypothermia, and I was not far! behind him. It had taken us 4.5 hours to go what the locals said was a 90 min trip, it what turned out to be a blizzard just as we reached the pass. Not interested in THAT again. Just a tad to much adventure...a tad to much adversity. IRT to Mark/short of tires-- I feel your pain. I ruined a nearly new K270 with a 20p nail through a sidewall...fortunately, I had a full set of tires on the shelf, and was riding again the next day. At the time, I lived 50 miles from the nearest MC shop, and doubtful they had tires either. so, I learned early on-- I keep a set of consumables = tires, a chain, sprocket set, tubes, oil, filters for any bike, all the time. When that 'spare' set is installed, I (nearly) immediately replace them. shrug. That is just me. Right now there are two full sets of KLR tires, and a full set of tires suitable for the dirt bikes. IMO, Our riding season is to short to waste a day(s) waiting on a tire, tube, or chain. Chains and tubes are almost always available, no so much for the other things. 2010, I got a new front tire in Cody, WY. Only one appropriate 21" tire in the town, I got the only tire. Imagine the poor guy that followed me into town that day. He would have to wait 3-5 days for Rocky-Tucker-Rocky to resupply the MC shop; or pay a big fee for next day air. If I had had good sense, I would have started with a brand new tire in 2010 before heading out.... tomorrow, it has a nearly new rear, and a fresh front. Film at 11. revmaaatin.
