Re: [ST] Fwd: Long Way Round

[Matt Knowles <matt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My choice would have been a KLR650. Went solo to Alaska on one without 
a problem. Regrettably sold it at the end of the trip, but bought 
another one when I moved to Ferndale. No problems with that one either, 
other than a few lost bolts due to vibration. The KLR has been the most 
durable bike I've ever owned. It's also at least a hundred pounds 
lighter than the BMW  and Triumph offerings, and if you've ever ridden 
off road, you know that is pretty important.
