Right on hehe!

No sir, it'll have to ride in the back of my truck

Yes the KLR did cut it splendidly, this KTM bike couldn't have cut what the KLR did cut (or even come close).... FL to Cali and back ;D <---that HWY ride across the country on a 1 cylinder was a bucket list item that led to the below.
The KTM sure will handle the extreme off-road single-track better and packs a ton more HP at half the weight. I made the mistake of riding a guy's in the desert.
This bike will be to knock out a new bucket list of ADV rides. It will be in the back of my Tundra for the following bucket list rides
A gazillion more ADV rallys.
Baja, Mexico
Death Valley
CA/NV abandoned mines
Trans Atlantic Trail across the US (TAT)
Blue Ridge Mountains off-road TN/NC (I've already did those roads hundreds of times on the streets)
Coal Mine off road routes of WV
TX harsh country
Cactus off-roading in AZ
Red mud in GA/AL/SC
^^^^as I meet people again the bucket list will grow!
