What time do we roll out from ZZr's? I am thinkin 10:00 am or so. I will be there! I am bringing all my gear, I don' t like carrying a tent and bag and stove etc and not use it, but who knows for sure eh? The weather looks like we may get a rinse now and then.Sometimes you hafta just go out and take some bad weather and suffer a bit. Be cold and wet for a while. It'll make your nice warm chair at home feel that much better, its only a couple days.Step out of the comfort zone and be in the elements kinda thing.I am looking forward to making the big fire on the beach actually.Last year too dry-this year too wet! There is no bad weather, just poor gear!

Yea, I'll keep the camping gear on board, but if it'a too cold and nasty, it's hotel time.

Hey all,
Looks like I"m adding a few things to my ride. I'm going to try that Afrika seat, Tank Guard Bags, larger rear rack, Large rear hard bag from JCWittney, change my fork springs and try their MEFO Tires but they are all out of centre stands at KLR650.com........any ideas where to get a good one?

After all that, I'm not sure there is much else I can do to this bike.

For anyone considering the taller windshield, I think I'm going to try putting the short one back on......I'm getting a lot of buffetting right now.

PM me if you know a good line on a centre stand.
thanks,
Kyle

Be good to meet all of you.
