Hey all,
I have always loved the two wheeled life. I have been riding cruisers since before I could legally do so. I was raised by a motorcycle club and my entire family lives and breathes Harley Davidson.
But I live in Alaska now! Time to buy something that can make the most of the minimal paved roads and endless dirt tracks!
So I bought myself this brand new 2015 Kawasaki KLR650!
And I am loving it!
I took it out on some of the logging roads to see if I had any natural dirtbike skills. Alas I found myself surprised at how even the smoothest logging road was able to toss me around and get me dragged into ruts and such. I didn't go much over 35 and unless I was standing up I felt like I was going to lay the bike down on every bump.
For those of you who are more experienced at this, can you give me any tips? Should I just let the road/trail dictate my path without fighting it? And on corners am I able to lean at all? Thanks for all yall's help!
