Ride Report For Saturday 6-24-06
 

Well I decided to ride the same route I rode on Friday except this time I went backwards and took someone with me. I also took the camera and some pictures. The pictures show a friend of mine's son and I going from gravel roads, to quad trails to blacktop to quad trail mostly on Forest Service land. This first picture is the starting point on Rayoneer. Notice the pass thru gate that is starting to show up on DNR and other land owners properties. It means that they are opening up more and more areas here for riders. And that's awesome in my book.

These next two are at the top of the ride, and before anyone says anything about clear cuts, just remember it all grows back and is regulated by forest practice laws, and also those openings are very beneficial for the wildlife such as deer and elk.

These next three pictures are from forest service land and if you look closely you can see where someone threw off a canopy waaaaaaaaaay down into the river, now that makes me mad, stinking punks. I wish the forest service would get that stuff out of there. Otherwise it's an awesome view.

These next two pictures are of where the Forest Service is repairing yet another huge slide and have blocked the road with a dozer,.....yea that's gonna stop someone LOL, check out how big the culverts are. I got a shot of Tyler going through one.

This picture is of a slide from at least 10 years ago. The slide was so bad that it plugged the river and went up almost 100 ft up the opposite bank. Notice the trees growing at the bottom to stabilize the bank.

These last 3 pictures show the Quad trail we ended the day on. After I got home I realized we had covered almost 60 miles, can you say saddle sore? LOL

looks like the KLR has the 606s too. How did the KLR do compared to the KLX? I figure the KLR is very similar to the XT225 with a little more power.

Is it just me or is the KLR straight piped, or is that a lawn mower muffler at the end of the headpipe?[sm=smiley17.gif]

I have ridden with a guy who had a KLR, Off road I will smoke his KLR, its not even funny. But on the pavement, well you can guess at that, the KLX does not exactly keep up.

Damn DEEJ, you have an awsome place to ride, so envious. And I'm sure this is all outside your backdoor isn't it?? I have to drive about 1 hour and 30 minutes to get to the Mountains from my house, and I have to load the KLX in my truck also, because I cannot ride that thing on a super slab[:@]. But once I get to the mountains it performs excellent.
