my other bike is jealous

I should put a Kush sprocket on the dual sport rim. Same the running gear. Smile

Back when I was reading Rider and riding a lot more than I do now there was one guy that would mail/UPS his knobbies to his destination. So he would take the road tires and bike out to his play area, swap wheels, ship them back when he was done and ride home on street tires. Always kept that little ditty in the back of my mind just for this occasion.

Same guy or someone else worked out a way to mount the extra wheels to the bike to save the shipping bit. I have not done that yet.

Thanks!! Good info.
Talk about jealous.... here's my KLR... miles ridden last year... Less than 200.
I did 60 just this past weekend after replacing the battery which crapped out due
to non use (I have to assume...)

And my Harley...which took a backseat to the CB last year...miles ridden including
a 500 mile one way trip back to Georgia was 1200. This shot from a great trip a few years back...

I rode by CB 1300 miles last year...in 6 months of ownership. A lot for me...and as you can see...she was the WINNER!

But I like all 3... and other than trading in my '13 for a '14... I'm happy.
