<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">My attempt to plan and lead a memorable rally turned out to be memorable for the wrong reasons. I've done only a little off-road riding since then. I'm even thinking of selling my G650 XChallenge after spending a bunch getting it ready for anything. The Husky TE250 is sold, as is the Yam DRZ400, the Husky TR650 and the Kawi KLX250. I bought and sold each of them in turn looking for a perfect do-it-all bike. The TR650 came closest, but when KTM bought Husky and dropped it from production and service, it had to go. The CTX 700 is a great local road-ride bike, but could not handle even gravel. I dunno, maybe another KLR650. I've had 2 over the years and liked them both well enough - they do everything okay, but nothing really well. Sure wish I still had my '90 moonstone. Nobody makes anything that good any more. <br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Milt<br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jun 27, 2016 at 1:15 PM, Tracy Cerrato <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:tcrrto@comcast.net" target="_blank">tcrrto@comcast.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word">We still can but someone down there would need to lead it.

You gotta watch out for those Goldies! I’m going to start exploring the back and dirt roads around here for a route. John is wanting to get out and ride now that he’s feeling a little bit better (stupid bp meds gave him A-fib, so he is limited on energy now). I can get something together for September. I’ll start a new shirt design also.<br><div>

After a recharge (and re-fill of the dry cells) of the battery, pushed the “TART” button (the ‘S’) has long since worn away…. The TA fired up and I was off. First the good news, the TA was a Honda! No skips, no sputters, no issues. Except a bit of burnt leaf smell. Transalp lived up to its reputation as needing as much maintenance as a hammer. The Bad news, my knee is not ready for prime time. The surgery was healing well until our 60 pound Golden body slammed it just over a week ago. It is getting better, but no quite there yet.<u></u><u></u></span></div><div style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)"> </span></div><div style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)">John<u></u><u></u></span></div></span>_______________________________________________<br>Tanx mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Tanx@micapeak.com" style="color:purple;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">Tanx@micapeak.com</a><br><a href="http://micapeak.com/mailman/listinfo/tanx" style="color:purple;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">http://micapeak.com/mailman/listinfo/tanx</a></div></blockquote></div><br></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>
