actually those pallets were on the very back of the trailer you just cant see them. ya, the raptor is not mine. its my buddies and i can not believe how much torque it has! i heard the new 700 with some aftermarket stuff is insane. someone is making a upgrade with cams, porting, etc that adds 28hp supposidly

Excellent photos, Keith. Looked like a great trip. I think it'd be a blast to camp with the bike. I mean sort've like hiking where you carry everything you need for a couple of days, but on the bike instead. Haven't really worked out a way to carry much of a load on the KLX, though. The rear rack is pretty worthless for carrying much. You might be able to carry a small tent and bag on there, without too much trouble, though.

You're right 1iviper.. It has to be photoshop..I think these bikes come with lead front tires..cause they sure don't want to come off the ground. I'm hoping the Muzzy will help..IF it ever get's here..[sm=headbang.gif][sm=smiley35.gif]

Keith,

Thanks for the great memories! We were up in Apalachicola in January - had a big dualsport rally there. About 30 folks showed up on their bikes to ride and have a blast!

Here's some info from "Tour de Apalachicola" which looks like is a "go" again for 2007 - January.

We camped at a place in Crawfordsville, Camp Indian Springs. Cost us $8 a night and breakfast and dinner were provided. Rode all around the area.

Plan on coming over next year, it will be an awesome time.

no,no. it will wheelie with a little blip of the clutch. i can bring it up in 2nd and ride through 4th once it's up at a balance point. as far as power wheelies with no clutch, i can only get the tire up in 1st standing up and pulling back very hard. keith
