I probably wont be able to commit to Tues for sure.  Gotta see what the kids have planned for me first.

What we've got here, is a failure to communicate.  Strother Martin as the Captain in Cool Hand Luke.
Endeavor to persevere! Chief Dan George as Lone Watie in The Outlaw Josey Wales.

I'm down. Wife is wanting to head south to her family's around 4 that afternoon so I'd need to stay pseudo-local or get an early start, though.

I'm off this week also. I'll be watching this thread. I'm definitely a maybe.
Motorcycling is not, of itself, inherently dangerous. It is, however,  extremely unforgiving of inattention, ignorance, incompetence, or stupidity.

If it don't scare you, you ain't doing it right.

OK, I'm in Orlando Wednesday, if the plane makes it back I'm coming.
Be advised, I'm a noob on a KLR, and have not been off the hardtop on two
wheels in 20 yrs. be gentle.

Great ride today, even if it was a little slick! Really enjoyed meeting everyone.

Looks like they're starting to crack down a bit on the wildlife management area. We ran up on two to three spots where they barricaded off the trails in the big open center area. Lots of new "STOP" signs as well. Hopefully this is just related to hunting season and not the new normal. Trails in the NW corner were mostly unaffected.

Definitely slick out there today.

Thanks to all for coming out...good to meet Rich and Shane, and see Ben and Terry again.

Trophy of the day goes to Rich for slinging that heavy KLR around in the mud on street tires (hopefully there wasn't too much damage). Honorable Mention to Terry for the mudding the DR with 80/20 tires.  :)

Only got one pic at the lunch stop...should have some video downloaded eventually.

Terry, make sure it's Blue to match the bike , helmet and all the new BRUISES I have all over.  :D
Thankfully the water wasn't freezing!!!

I enjoyed the hand holding on my first venture off(make that "off off") road on a dual sport. I had forgotten what a physical and mental workout it can be. Thanks to everyone for putting up with the noob!
