Sunday 8-5 Ride to Perry

[moriver]

The weather looks great Sunday for a ride. I am going to leave Platte City Sunday morning 7 A.M. from QT and take a Dualsportmaps track west from Leavenworth and end up at Perry. I plan on riding a little at the ORV park and then heading home. Figured I would offer if any others were wanting to get out. Be safe all.

We are spending the weekend in Jasper or I'd go. Have fun!

Well did a solo trip and had a good time. However I did learn that The KLR is a class A pig on a tight trail, much worse than I thought it would be. Years ago it was weekends at Chadwick, Perry and Finger Lakes on a RM465 or KX500. I thought nothing of it back then and did what I wanted with those big bikes. The KLR liked to kill me a couple of times today. It has nothing to do with my weight, lost skills or short legs....Blasted KLR Might be time to act on that WR250R I guess?

Scott,

When the long awaited KTM 500 EXC finally arrives (sales have apparently been phenomenal) I'll meet you at Perry and you can try it out. It might be an option for you to consider. Ask Troy about his 450. It is hard to peel him off of it!

Heck of an offer Stu, I would like to just take a look at it. As I cant afford an orange bike I will pass on the ride but would love to see it in the flesh.

The long awaited 500 EXC arrived! I picked it up yesterday afternoon late. Been working on it all day. Protective items on. Lighter components on. Etc. It should be ready to go tomorrow afternoon sometime. If so I might ride out to Perry and check it out in the desert powder out there. The bike looks really trick and now that it is even lighter it feels almost like my 300! No wonder KTM is sold out of these all the time!

Lets see if we an work out a ride next Saturday at Benders. More after I try the beastie out.
