Hello all. My name is Billy (Muss nickname). 44 live in Toney al north of Huntsville. Have not ridden in years. Had a couple Harley's and a vintage ct360t. Looking forward to exploring dualsport on the 2005 klr650 I just bought.

No one ever does. We just make up lies to be able to justify having it.
If you don't buy momma the proper shoes for dual sporting, she won't be happy 8)
And her punishment could be harsh.

Aren't these dual sport tires? Sure ain't road tires.

Those look like the stock Dunflop 750s. They actually work pretty good on the pavement but are very marginal off road. They also don't last long. My original rear tire was toast after 1900 miles. When those wear out, and it won't take long, get some Shinko 244s. They work much better in the dirt, last longer and are dirt cheap. :)
Yeah that's what they are. Ow I just looked the 244 up. Only $85 for set!!!!

Shinko 244's are a great all purpose tire. When it comes time I can help you spoon some on your rims and get them balanced.
Cool. Thx
