Robert, I too ride a KLR and I get about 40 mpg on fire roads with some full off road mixed in and I don't baby my bike. The worst I have ever gotten is 35...
I think the competition is limited to 650 or larger motorcycles. I can't image that he would would turn down any street-legal dual sport motorcycle for the...

the usfs roads and trails remain closed to motor vehicles until april 15, unless we get more storms, which could extend the closure. anyone interested in...
Thanks John, Your experience is pretty close to mine, although I don't think I have ever gotten over 50 mpg on the street, and I only got that one time on the...
That's what the CA tank holds from what I hear. The most I have ever put in mine was about 5. I have also heard if you run the tank dry on reserve, if you...
I might be - a couple buddies and me are going to go ride somewhere, and they're tired of doing Carnegie, so thinking about heading north (we're all near SF)....
Hi everyone - I am new to this group. I need some advice on my first ride with you guys. I've been riding street bikes, mostly sportbikes, for 40 years and I...

A couple buddies and I are going riding this Saturday and were considering someplace new - Cow Mountain/Clear Lake area came up as an option. None of us have...
i just called the ranger station... the bald mtn side is open! if it were closed i'm not sure you would find the drive worthwhile, but since it is open... ...
Hi Debi. This group did a ride 2 weeks ago on Michigan Bar Rd. and a dirt section on Mosquito Rd. north of Placerville that I think would be perfect. I rode my...
I tried the "tip it" trick, John. No luck. Dry seemed to be dry and the fact that it took 5.8 gallons would indicate that less than a quart could have been...
I just rode Highway 49 from Lotus to Auburn, and I stopped at the confluence of the North and Middle Forks of the American River. From the late 60's / early...

I rode there once. Trails were fun. There was a ton of poison oak everywhere. Scared me to death because of previous PO exposures. I stripped and jumped in...
