N.W. of Phoenix ADV Riders

( i can be ready by 930 as long as we plan on kickstands up at 9:00),


This has really got me puzzled:huh:huh

As well it should.
I have a tendency for tardyness so I usually tell people later later than I intend.
It was a joke that you may eventually get used to.

Got it? I think

Is this ride KLR friendly?

Is it ever

Steelwind and I are both on a Gen 1. We both like aggressive terrain and have trained our rides to make friends with anything. So depends on what you consider friendly. Ive seen KLR riders freak out about a rock in the road. And some that are scared of pavement.

Good answer

Trying to decide on gearing for the Havasu trip. Other rides in the area seem to have included some excessive speeds: http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=840821

Sounds like this group is a little more into the technical route. Just put 15/45 on the XR650R. It's good for 60mph cruise but would not be too much fun in the tight stuff.

Tell the girls at Starbucks that Scott and Patti sai hi.

Are you missing Wickenburg yet Scott?

KLR can do it all. It's all about technique and style.

Let's see.......

> Under ten minutes to get to the office.

> I found a few indy coffee shop that sells coffee that tastes like coffee.

> I had a gathering with my coworkers last night, and only had to ride 15 minutes to get home.

> I have only had to fill up the motorcycles once since I've been here, and the truck once. Same with the car, and it is still full.

> I have shitloads of open desert around my neighborhood, so I still get to enjoy that.

I think we know the answer.

Surely you miss practicing your fractions by the variable ratios of ethnical constitutions of your neighbors.....?
I love watching the kids next door play on top of their dads hotrod while their mom cusses at the tv instead of the constantly barking dog.

???Hmmmmm

I wouldnt call these friendly but its what Im after.

I miss all that open space out in Wickenburg, but it's not that far away.

BTW, check out my twins.

Cool!!! When did you get #2?

I picked it up this week. It's a 2006 with super low miles (4K). I couldn't resist. I'm going to pick a couple things off my 2005 and put that one up for sale soon.

The idea of my 2005 eventually getting old, and having to find a replacement motorcycle of some sort is something I don't want to face. By picking up this other, I've turned the mechanical clock back, and hopefully bought myself a couple extra years of 640 Adv ownership, before I have to decide that the bike is too old and has too many miles on it. Does that make sense?

Hahaha my XT 600 is 23 this year and more than enough bike to kick my butt yeah it may blow oil but I can take the whole thing apart with an open end wrench and a combo screwdriver
