klr 650 windshield/windscreen recommendation?

[Robert Waters]

I'm leaving next Friday or Saturday to go to Silverton and meet up with some 4x4 Landcruiser club buddies. I am considering taking a trail bike and maybe spend a few days riding before they get there or after they leave. Anyone going to be there about that time? Also, is it entirely too hot at Moab to ride this time of year? I've only been there in April, which was very nice.

This will give you some idea of the expected temps and historical data. Alan http://www.weather.com/weather/monthly/USUT0165

It s going to be 94 to 104 with a 20%-40% chance of rain for the next ten days here in Moab. We have lots of riders come here this time of year to ride. Yes it will be hot. The Lasals offer cooler riding. If you come to Moab, stop in.

SW Colorado: I plan to be there in about 3 weeks for a long weekend. A buddy with the Sheriff's Dept there advises that I plan my riding so if I need to I can be outta the mountains and into one of the towns by mid-afternoon. According to him if there's going to be lightening storms that's when they'll start. He also told me they have historical accounts of old miners getting hit by lightening inside mines/caves - apparently its a horizontal adventure in the high country there. Moab: I rode there in August last year and likely will again this year. The temp was between 100 and 105. I used 2ea pieces of multi-function head/neck gear called "Original Buff". Its a tube shaped stretchy cloth that can be worn in many ways. I wet one and wore it under my helmet, the other I wet and wore like a gator around my neck. About every 30-40 mins I would stop and rewet them from my camelbak. They made a big difference and it felt 20 degrees cooler from their evaporation. The Buff is available for about $20 online and from places like REI. Gear Head in Moab also stocks them (Main Street and about 300/400 on the corner). The 3 liter size Camelbak (or other brand) is essential when Moab gets hot. I filled mine with all the ice it would hold, then added water. It would run out of water late afternoon, about when I'd be back in town. In short: Both areas are great riding this time of year, they just require the right planning respectively.

The great thing about Moab is if is too hot you can be up in the La Sals at 9000 ft. Nice and cool. Criswell Sent from my iPhone

Don't know anything about the La Sals. What is it like. Links? Good place for 4 wheel drives. Our bunch is looking for something wild we have not done before, but we want to stay high i.e. elevation where it is cool. rw

I personally would NOT ride in Moab in August for the simple reason that if you break down way back in, you are either fixing, or walking, so water just became your biggest concern. You need LOT'S! Lots of folks have died a terrible death this way. Stitches Afloat LLC 4580 Harbor Road Shelburne Vermont 05482 802-985-9547 www.stitchesafloat.com stitchesafloat@...

Well you could ride in the La Sals in August just fine east of town riding in 9,000 feet altitude. II think July and August is monsoon time for that area. I have heard the desert roads are a bitch out there with any kind of rain (slick). Criswell Sent from my iPad

Don't ride it solo and that becomes much less of an issue... Tam ________________________________
