Pull up a couch. It's cool in the Lounge. Just remember to be a good neighbor.

Now the question is when you go out for your next ride, do you take the WR or the DR?

Bob, I have a set of Shinko Trail Masters that I took off the KTM. Plenty of good tread left if you'd be interested...

I'm going to try and ride the DR to Colorado Springs to visit family next month. Just waiting for a window of weather to make a 6 day trip.............. however, as soon as the roads in Wabaunsee county or between Atchison and White Cloud are something other than soup, a day ride on the WR would work for me. :wink:

I would, but the DR has a 17" rear like your KLR. The KTM has an 18" doesn't it?
