[QUOTE="sportsguy, post: 1326379, member: 18374"] Then ensued the most uncomfortable 58 miles of my life. The KTM didn't seem to care, but my knees did. Lemme just clear this up because I know a lot of folks must be wondering about this. How much time did KTM invest in product testing the Adventure R for two-up riding with two middle-aged North American dudes? The answer was 5.7 seconds. Enough time to ask the question of could it be done, enough time to stare at the bike for a moment or three and enough time to shrug and say it was done. Oddly, I must report, the Renazco seat remained comfortable even under these trying circumstances. The funniest moment for me being about half way through the journey as we passed a Geo Metro with a couple of big guys in it. As we drifted by them, I looked over and flipped them a big thumbs up. They looked at each other, then burst out laughing. Try as they might after that, they never caught up with us. Anyway, we made it to Yakima and to the hotel we'd booked. The plan was for Hudson to run back to Fall City, fetch the truck and trailer and head back to pick me up. We'd make the run back to Goldendale for the FJR, then spend the remainder of the night in Yakima. This would put is back at the hotel near 1am, but we could sleep in till 9.
