I can understand that. Also, If I can get my '08 sorted out before late July maybe I can talk my pop into coming along as well. We could be a trio taking on the unknown via KLR's.Late July. But i am not camping. My bones no longer allow it but having a riding wingman would be nice.
Here's the story from a local news station:Holy Cow!
I would like to hear more details about that story.

Unfortunately, it does not. From ColoradoSAR.org.?
From my understanding, with the Purchase of a Colorado Off-Highway Vehicle permit, basic Search & Rescue is included. Uncertain whether that would cover a helicopter ride or not?
That's perfect because you'll still need a bead breaker. I use the Motion Pro Bead Pro. Nothing beats a Baja no pinch tool for installation ease.I will look at those but i alredy bought the beadbreaker.
Looks great but 244$ for tire irons. I gotta stop the bleeding. I have long tire irons on top of the bead breaker that should work. Have new tires coming so will know soon.That's perfect because you'll still need a bead breaker. I use the Motion Pro Bead Pro. Nothing beats a Baja no pinch tool for installation ease.
My cousin shot a guy in a ABQ Jack in the Box drive through at midnight several years ago. The guy tried coming through her passenger window while she was waiting on her food. SHE shot him twice and a taxi tire once. Had she not had her gun she would for sure have been a victim.No shit. A close friend of mine got shot at a Motel 6 there about 7 years ago. He was just passing through and stopped for the night. Fortunately, he killed the shooter and survived his wounds. So don't tell me that carrying a gun won't make a difference.
F9 did a show on liquid tire sealant recently, good info especially if you ride any tubeless tires on other bikes. Ride-on came in second to Sahara Moto in his test. I think either is a great addition to off road tires! I use Sahara and ditched the wheel weights and NO vibrations from tires at all (wish they made dynamically balancing motor oil 🤣)I will look at those but i alredy bought the beadbreaker.
I think i saw that. He looks at things very scientifically that i like. But we drive our klrs on and off road. Do you have any viration at highway speeds and i assume you have tubes.F9 did a show on liquid tire sealant recently, good info especially if you ride any tubeless tires on other bikes.

I ride 70/30 highway/gravel roads. And on freeway I run 65-75 per GPS. No vibrations, it kinda surprised me the first time I got up to 70 on the freeway. It’s was noticeably smoother than with the weights. The physics are much more precise and dynamic (liquid and centripetal force) as opposed to static wheel weights that may or may not be EXACTLY in the right place.Not to make little of these events but

My plan, if I ever need to remove the tube, is to rotate the valve stem to the top so no liquid escapes when deflating. I hope we never need to find out, outside of putting on new tires in the garage 👍🏼😎Just bought the606/mt21 combo. Can't wait till they get here. I wonder if it makes a mess if you do need to change tubes. Thanks for this info btw.
Thanks for the invite. I would but already scheduled 3 weeks vacation in july.Why don't you come join us on June 9th-12th for the Spring Fling on the continental divide? Datil, New Mexico at Datil Well Campground. Rides for every skill level. Come join us.
How much mess depends on how big the puncturing object was and whether or not the rider stopped before the tire beads unseated from the rim & then ripped valve out of the tube.I wonder if it makes a mess if you do need to change tubes. Thanks for this info btw.
That is actually backwards. Liquid flows down hill, doesn't it?My plan, if I ever need to remove the tube, is to rotate the valve stem to the top so no liquid escapes when deflating. I hope we never need to find out, outside of putting on new tires in the garage 👍🏼😎
NM in July? - take plenty of water, and then add some more water and snacks and sunscreen.So i am prepping to do my first real trip on the KLR of any consequence. I will be driving the beginning and the ending parts of the new mexico bdr. Trailoring bike to ruidoso and doing trails north. Trailoring to albequerque and then doing grants nm to colorado. Not camping but will have emergency supplies.
So what are the must dos to the bike and what must haves as far as tools besides of course tire tools. Oil and air filter just done. Just never been so far back country alone.
Well that is true except it is monsoon season. I plan on riding 8am to 1pm then heading to nearest hotel. It rains every afternoon.NM in July? - take plenty of water, and then add some more water and snacks and sunscreen.
