Rubicon has been riding a bit of sand with the KLR. Nothing too rough, and including an Atlantis ride. She struggled with the height of the bike.

When an opportunity came to sell my Land Rover discovery, I found her a TW for about the same price. (amazing how much money you can loose on a luxury 4x4!) The TW gives quite a bit more confidence because of the low seat, and the nice fat tyres.

I deflated the tyre to 0.5, and that gave her a nice footprint.

She was a bit nervous when hitting the first whoops!, but by the end of the ride, she was handling it easily. There was a little incident when she burnt herself on the manifold, but luckily the pants took most of the brunt. Had to do some first aid to R5 size blister.

Deon and Roost had a ball in the fire breaks!
