tires fyi lol
As usual not being a "planner", & leaving sooner then expected, I waited to long to order tires from fred.
NO-ONE STOCKS (almost no-one) tires for the KLR, Here in west Mich. I called 9 places with in 80 miles. (5 Kaw. dealers, 3 here in GR area. 2nd largest city in Mi.)
Found the same thing near Pittsburgh PA. A Large city.
BMW (2 miles away) is the only one that stocks, the tires. (because they are the same size as the F- -. GS bikes (650, 800 etc)
The FYI, SO if in a last minute pinch, and BMW ($$$) may be your best bet.

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.

Nah Martin, old white guys taste like Bear Spray and bells (I have heard from bear amigos).
Martin, got a dyslexic joke you might appreciate. Did you hear the dyslexic atheist claim "There is no Dog."

Last minute tires: I figure I have another 1000+- miles left on the set I just pulled off, but DeSided, (*) I didn't want a torn up knuckle from changing them at the campgrounds (motel etc.) in the middle of a 4,000+ trip.
let alone if it rains near the last bit, I really don't want to be singing the Paul Simon old song,.... "SLIP SLIDING AWAYYYYYYYYYYYY.
PSSST. Hey Marten, wheres the spare key to the garage those tires etc are in. (BWA HA HA HA)
* De-Sided, instead of Decided,........ For with new tires, better chances to NOT go down the road SIDE ways.
Fred Should start a new 2 step "SAFETY" program. every 2 months he sends out a new set of Consumables. (C.C. or Bank account # needed.)
Step 1. If you ride as much as you should and need them you will change them. (even before seeing BALD SPOTS & THREADS.)
Step 2. If you are not riding enough to need them, It will get you out riding more, so as not to waist the money, and help you regain your SANITY.
Travel Safe! Travel Well!

tires fyi lol
There is a viewpoint near the Beartooth Summit, a small parking area leading to a 150 yard hike to the top of a knoll. The knoll offers an amazing 360 degree view, worth the hike even in full riding gear. Take your camera!
Not far from Beartooth Pass is a dirt pass that crosses the Continental Divide (ID-MT border) then passes through the Red Rocks Wilderness enroute to Dillon, MT. This route is definitely
worth doing, I can email a GPX file if you have time to ride it.From: DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com

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

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

Not interested in THAT again. Just a tad to much adventure...a tad to much

Chains and tubes are almost always available, no so much for the other

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.
