[QUOTE="dcarver, post: 901129, member: 956"] KJ, I'm not sure if I can make this run, but if I did, on the Wee, it would *have to have* fresh full knobbies. It's amazing how quickly even 4-6" of sand can take all the fun out of a 'dual sport' ride on a 'not-so-much-dual-sport' bike. If you think about knobbies, my rec is pay the little bit of extra $$ and get the Conti's, not the Kenda Big Blok. The Kenda's are toast in less than 2k miles. Although, a Big Blok front and TKC rear might be a good combo. One last thought - travel light in the dirt. Leave excess crap at campground. These are big bikes. The GS, IMHO, is better in dirt than our DL's, for a variety of reasons. At least when we crash out our Suzooks, they start back up and are really cheap to fix.. :whistle: My .02, from a rashed out Wab's perspective :P [/QUOTE]
