learning to ride off road

Post by Seekyrr » Sat Feb 04, 2012 8:41 am

Lot of great tips. There is a place I drive to on the weekends in Ontario called Turkey point. Its a park with lots of riders on the trails, so I plan to stick to the easy parts and help should not be that far off. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTVtnQEbcAw Crash [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

learning to ride off road

Post by Ron Haraseth » Sat Feb 04, 2012 8:58 am

While crashing gently is not a bad skill, 'tis better to visualize yourself traversing a tough section rather than crashing. One tends to do what one visualizes. A high speed run down a challenging dirt road will force your concentration to new levels. There is nothing like the felling when it all comes together and you successfully traverse a tough uphill route with rocks, roots, ruts, etc. and you find yourself at the top feeling like you and the bike were one entity. When you get to this point, there is no turning back. You are hooked. Now go out and visualize. (Disclaimer...yes, it is easier to attain these levels on a pure dirt bike which weighs 100 lbs. less than a KLR, but it still translates and applies to a KLR.)

I learned to ride off-road on a Suzuki-80. Then I progressed to a Yamaha 175. No problem lifting those. KLR 650? I need a crane. Robert Wichert P.Eng. LEED AP +1 916 966 9060 FAX +1 916 966 9068 ===============================================

What? You don't carry a crane in the two trailer you drag behind the KLR? revmaaatin. who thinks the next KLR650 might just be a WR250. crane optional.

That looks vaguely familiar. While mine didn't break, it did turn all black/blue like that after I rode a Honda Transalp through a wall.(Long story) :-) eddie

I'm still learning to crash gently. The last time I crashed I failed on the "gently" part and broke my arm. It looked really cool, though: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1136144040085&l=480778b4e1

I guess you have found one by now. If not, resort to the old way. Find out what numbered drill bit fits your 150 and then drill it to the next drill size. ;-) Andy in Jennings, La.
