Hi: I just traded in my sportbike for a KLR650 a week ago. I have almost finished the first half of the break in buzzing along a mix of paved and gravel roads. It really opens up a lot more interesting terrain in my area. I was looking for trails to ride on and found some references to multi use trails that allow ATV's and show pictures of the four wheeled things. I haven't found a single specific reference to dual sport or offroad bikes yet, aside from a noise limit that would exclude performance oriented competition bikes or modified exhausts. Are our two wheel vehicles typically welcomed on ATV trails or what? I am just west of Ottawa in eastern Ontario and would welcome any info on trails, places to ride or people to ride with. Steve BTW, I am getting almost 80 mpg keeping to the 4k rpm limit for the first 800km of break in.
