And some new tires - odd buying four REAR 19" tires for the same moto :) [IMG said:

More details soon, we are all packing up for the Overland Expo

Those are some serious looking tires. What are they? I need some for my 2012 GU.

They are:
Kenda K760 Trakmaster II Rear Tire
Size- 100/90-19

I do not expect the main rear drive tire to last longer than 1,000 miles. On the dirt, traction (particularly steering) is greatly improved. Braking and drive traction also improved. On the street, the exact opposite occurred.

I really, really want one...top of my list right now. I just need to go for a test drive...and find a job so I can stop spending my down payment that I've been saving for 8 months. I hope to be in one by Labor Day. It just looks like so much ridiculous fun!!

The performance of the Ural is somewhat irrelevant. It is the smile it brings to your face, the sense of nostalgia, and of course, it is extremely stylish even sitting still!

Thanks Scott I might have to take you up on that and get out of this heat!

As an interesting technical note, this image is actually a single frame video capture from a Canon 4K 1DC

One of my all time favorite rides is 89A out of Flagstaff, down through Sedona, over through Jerome, and into Prescott. (Then turn around and do it the other way!) Went to NAU and never lost my love of the area.
