dual sport ride sat. feb 3

[bc_canyons@look.ca]

Howdy, I am new to this list and look forward to dual-sport info. Questions I have at this time are: 1) Does anyone have an owners manual for a 1993 Husqvarna 350 (thumper)? 2) Does any one have large gas tank for same bike or source info...reluctant to pay $500 -$700 (CDN) if I don't have to. I currently ride: 1981 R80 GS, 1996 R1100 GS (Beemers), and a 1993 Husqvarna 350. I live in Kamloops BC where it is +4 C. today and the snow is melting on the streets but not in the hills where it is about 12" deep....;and, no, I haven't been doing any single tracking in the snow....yet!! And I don't own a KLR....yet )) Ged Schwartz

How bad is the sand on the "dual sport" ride? I've been out to Anza Borrego a couple times and nearly killed myself going through deep sand washes that had been no problem in my pickup. Do you think their dual sport ride is suitable for a KLR650 with a non-sand loving rider??? Thanks, Joe
