Day trip to Alabama Hills

Took a spontaneous 340 mile road trip to Alabama Hills, CA on Thursday. It was my first time riding Kern Canyon (way less scary than I thought it would be). Coming back home, south along the 395 and then on the eastern part of the 178, I faced some pretty strong cross winds that pushed me around a bit, but I just slowed my speed and enjoyed the ride. What a great experience!!

These longer rides I’ve been doing on the KLR have really made me appreciate this bike more and more.

Hello again everyone. Continuing from my last post about the benefits of upgrading the suspension, I have found these on Rocky Mountain’s site. Will these be good enough for now until I can splurge a little more and do the full cogent upgrade?

I’m curious, for those of you who have beefed up your suspension (front, rear, or both), is there any benefit for doing so if mostly road riding?

For context, I’m 300 lbs on a 3rd Gen. if that matters.

So I’m almost to 2500 miles on the stock tires of my “24 KLR. Based on the photos of the rear, how many more miles do you think I can get out of them?

Also, I’m kind of jonesing to put on a new set and am looking at the Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR or the Dunlop Trailmax Missions. Do any of you have opinions on either of those?
