EDIT: I just popped over at KLR World and they're back for Tour de Apalachicola III, Jan 18 - 21. I wonder if we should crash that? We could always ride our own rides. I wouldn't mind meeting Marty finally, if he'd be there which he probably would.
I'll do a klr tour in Tally again.......but I want better offroad stuff w/no guide. The choice is in your hands gentlemen......let me know what ya decide.

Ocala certainly is closer for the people from north of fla. Tally is one hell of a hike, even from when you make it to fla. Obviously its sandy, but is it real sugar sand or hardpacked? My only expierence in sand was at my brothers vaca home in live oak fla. I had stock tires, and it was ungodly difficult when you hit fluffy sand.

Thunderchild why would it really limit you if you don't have your shocks dialed in? Not calling you out just curious. All this suspension talk is making me want to actually get mine set to what it should be.

also how do you like that shift jacket, if thats you?

You know, if you guys put something together for January, I could get interested!! I'd have to give it some serious consideration, and get permission from Mom, but it does sound tempting!

It's difficult to explain the difference with the suspension. Espesially since you have become accustomed to your stock setup. You have learned to ride the bike it's way rather than your way. Once the suspension is set up properly for your weight and type of riding, you will find that you were working harder to get the bike to perform. And putting up with poor dampening on jumps, scareing yourself to death when the back end pogos higher than the front, etc.
Unfortunately, the only way that you know that your setup isn't right is to ride it after it is right.

If it would work out for you eric, you're welcome to stay here on your way down at my place and we could pool down together the next morning. And I'll offer a place to stay on the way back, too if that helps.
