Nice Marco! How is it for you height-wise?

Kinda tall like a dirt bike.

it is set up for a 200+ lb rider though. I think when I get the suspension closer to my weight it'll settel some.

It's not too bad I don't guess though.

The newer KLR's are pretty neat. I spent a long weekend in northern California on one blasting around. They are pretty smooth for big singles. To bad we never got diesels.

The KLR is venerable for sure. One of the very few bikes you can ride freaking ANYwhere, then take on a trip to Tierra Del Fuego.

If only they had suspension and a snappier motor... updated tech in other words. But you won't find the whole package anywhere else.

We definitely need a Rising Sun outing. Y'know, I've never actually ridden in the areas NE of Gunnison and I hear they are wonderful. I smell a camping riding weekend.

By NE Gunnison do you mean Pitkin area.. with access to Hancock, Tomichi, Alpine Tunnel.. and all that other fun stuff? I bet we'd be into that..

And it figures Kimmel would have a dirt bike that can spank everyone else's, nice bike man! :thumb:

Because you're including the entire Youtube URL between your youtube embed tags. You need to chop out the http://blahblahblah stuff that's ahead of the unique Youtube ID, in this case ScYFH9xzwMs. Try putting just that between the start and end youtube things.

Cool, thanks. Didn't know there was a trick to it. I think it's working now.

Got a bachelor party this summer that will hopefully include a good day or two of riding up there. Super stoked about it.

I'll play.
Being on the Ducati since 2001.
I totaled two BMW K1200RS riding on the road.
So now I do very little road riding.
I may add off-road bike in the future.
