Couple of questions I was hoping someone could help with......... I want to buy some Avon Gripsters for my KLR, but heard they are slippery on wet roads. Does anyone have experience with these particular tires?? What are good alternatives for about 80% street, 20% dirt riding?? I'm looking for a decent saddle that will accomodate daily rides as well as some touring. I'm thinking of going with the Travelcade kit because I've never been impressed with Corbin and don't like the size and looks of Russell. Any suggestion or advice??

[...] I don't understand where the wet weather rumours come from. I've happily split lanes in the rain at 140kmh on Gripsters. However, they do have a problem with traction on wet tram tracks. Mister_T Melbourne Australia

http://www.sporttour.com does a saddle rebuild for $125. I just sent my saddle in to get done on Wednesday. They claim a one to two day turn-around once they get the seat. I'll report back to the list on the turn-around time and my impressions of the seat when I have it for a bit. As far as I know, no one on list has tried this seat before. AT least, when I asked if anyone had, no one came forward. dat broo

Klem, Ran the Gripsters on my KLX and got about 8500 miles out of the rear tire. Worked fine on wet pavement IMHO. You might have heard they are aptly named "slipsters" on wet grass or in the mud, this is TRUE!!! Currently running the Distanzia and it is a MUCH better tire as compared to the Gripster, IMHO. After riding "Blackhorse" over 1600 miles from Ok to New Orleans and back, I can attest to the comfort, quality and great looks of the seat by Rocky Myer. I can't say enough good things about this seat. The comfort level is fabulous, and a lot of people during my trip asked where I got the great looking seat. Mine is vinyl, but it is available in leather. Rocky took great pains in the customer service department too. No springs, no bells and whistles, just a great seat and worth every penny. Hope this helps, Marshall in Afton, Ok '95 KLXC3 "Blackhorse" (in honor of those who served)

I always suspected, after reading of his death in the '65 Grand Prix, that he actually escaped and ran off with his secretary, he probably had a McClaren stashed away up in the Alps somewhere.
