Who Rode Today?

[bird1300]

I rode the KLR to the local tractor supply to pick up some hub oil for my tractor. Temp was in the mid 40's. Sorry, no pics.

Same here...so cold the wife hit her windshield wiper with her scraper and it broke...that as at 0600. I was fortunate enough to have a spare as everything is shut down here...

I cut my hand and it was so cold out I didn't notice until I got back in the house.

Yeah you don't really bleed when it's that cold.

So are you gonna get all that off road riding out of your system before you get your gen 3 or are you gonna keep this bike for touring and off road fun?? All jokes aside looks like some real fun riding Bryan

That thing isn't sitting still very long....just long enough for a picture I'd wager...

Glad you are enjoying it.

No wonder you 'almost' crashed 3 times . . . your bike's tires are the weak link being road tires. Get some big block all terrain tires ASAP!!
Sure looks like you're having a great time on Tigger, ain't it awesome having a dual purpose bike? All those extra fun opportunities to be exploited, and the comaraderie of the adventure bikers, just the best fun!
I'm in the process of setting up my DRZ400E as an adventure bike at the moment, it's got bags and a screen and a modified 'comfort' seat now!
Can't wait to hit the back country with a few mates!

Below... a DRZ400 (not mine but this is how mine will end up) fully adventurised and out in the back country of South Island NZ

I bought a Kreiga OS18 (18liter) dry bag for the tail rack, great quality German designed bag.

Kenda Big Block K784 Adventure Bike Tire Review

The K784 Big Block is Kenda’s entry in the adventure bike tire segment. As the name suggests, it’s an aggressive, knobby-style DOT design aimed directly at riders who take their adventure bikes off-road. It looks similar to a Continental Twinduro TKC80 or a Dunlop D606. Kenda says it’s a 60/40...

Thanks for posting that @Kiwi Rider . I will consider those as well when I have to replace the tires on my KLR. What's your opinion on the Michelin Annakee tires?

Well, they’re Michelin for starters....
I have no experience with them but there will be lots of reviews available online I’m guessing.
I use Shinko big block tyres on my DRZ400E and they’re great value for money and seem to work well on road and off road.
I’ve done 1200kms on them and the wear is maybe 20%.... but I reckon the big block pattern is the way forward.
