How about a ride on the TAT over the Rockies and into Moab just in time for the Canyonlands Motor Classic? The first person I can remember doing this was our good friends Punky n Lew. http://www.angelfire.com/mo/motormark/Punky_n_Lew/02.html Here's a report on the first guy to do the complete TAT. http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/tstories/russell/ (click the link at the bottom of this report for the rest of his story) Fred http://www.arrowheadmotorsports.com http://www.angelfire.com/ut/moab/cmc.html

The DR-Z400S is lighter, don't have the performance data, but it feels just as fast as the KLR. Sure as heck handles better 8~) __Arden --- In DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com, "klr250not" wrote:
