Minimalist Touring Defined
For those of you that think our KLX's are a bit small for touring, check this out.

This guy is taking a TW200 (towing a neat little trailer to boot) from Ellensberg WA - Deej are you listening? - to Wisconsin. By himself.
For those of you unfamiliar with the TW just think Rokon on steroids. For those of you unfamiliar with a Rokon...well, look it up.
He's 7 days into a 1300 mile trip and is posting one heck of a ride report along the way. If he can ride a 200cc, aircooled, 5-speed, rear drum beasty over the Continental Divide what are the rest of us waiting for? Shoot, kind of wish I was with him....

Wow thats weird you should mention this, I have a recent ride report with a couple of friends, and one of them has the TW200 and last year 2 guys came through Forks on the TW bikes loaded to the hilt. And just yesterday I saw a Rokon sitting for sale at the local small engine repair shop.
Hey I did my 700 mile trip on the KLX last August, so what are the rest of you monkey's waiting for? Hmmmm???

Thats the coolest ride report ever. I want one of those trailers. Is that a home made or can you buy that particular one. And more importantly...will they paint it to match the KLX green?

Maybe TW2007 will let you borrow his. Better yet, find a half dozen buds and co-op one.
