Adventure Rider Breakfast Series - 2/24/18 - Center Point + 2 day ride option-TARA/SA

I am in. I have a room reserved at Menard, Hilltop Motel.
Can't wait.
 
I did this route twice last year- I would ride the 500. You would be fine on a 990 as well, but the 500 would be more betterer.

If Rob brings his GS, we may just hang out at the back of the pack with the big bikes. *** reminder, got to get me some new dual sport tires ***

Good ...that way a busted up old guy like me riding a KLR with street tires can ride along too.

Someone who ice races with spiked tires, shouldn't have any trouble with a little Texas dirt.

LOL...no sand, rocks, or deep water crossings. It's a lot easier to ride on the ice than you would think.

I noticed some snow pack in those gloves and the "ice" busters. ;-)
 
By the way, how dual sporty (sp) is this ride? KTM 500 Exc or KTM 990 Adventure?

Joe,

It's much more adventure than dual sport, unfortunately. Click HERE for what to expect, I posted some videos last year on the ride announcement post. Of course no videos of the boring stuff.

A couple of more on the route for day 2.

Thanks Sander, it looks like the 990 may be the right tool. But it kinda makes me wish I hadn't gotten rid of the KLR! :-)
 
Looked at the map and this is a monster ride! I'm in.
 
Cedar Creek and it's water crossings on a loaded Tenere is no fun, as was my case last month.

:trust:

Reservation made at Hill Top in Menard. She said she has three more non-smoking rooms available.
 
Updated my graphics just for this ride.

Ha! Love the JT Racing steekers!
 
SANDER...

thats a clean ride

1. A very impressive custom vehicle, such as a limousine, tour bus or racing car, with high end accessories. 2. A professionally delivered level of service, particularly involving custom vehicles, that produces high quality results for customer satisfaction. 3. A very intense and exciting experience.
 
Well, current 10 day forecast has a 50% chance of rain midweek in both Kerrville and Menard.
 
Watching the weather also. The forecast changes day to day, sometimes hour by hour. I'll look at the forecast/radar on Friday 23rd and go from there.
