Back to Sunday...If I can make it; what is the better tire choice on my DR650. I have my Shinko 705 streets on right now or would the street knobs be better???

Thanks, Paul

Paul, sorry I missed this one earlier. If you are comfortable on dirt on street tires, you will be fine. I am running DOT knobbies, but they are worn and not aggressive. It is bound to be wet in spots, deep ruts with puddles. Other spots it will be dry and tacky.

Your call. If you aren't real confident on street tires, go for the knobbies.

Not me.... drove Jeep up here to work so by the time I'd run home and get a bike and come back out his way it'd just be about 9 which would be ok if it wouldn't be for that whole sleep thing

It would appear we missed a perfect ride day, as a group. I'm taking rain gear tomorrow hoping it will keep rain away. That's how it works, right?

You know it. It is only 30% chance tomorrow.

I went out and pre-ran a bit of the ride this afternoon and confirmed some stuff I have been trying to link together. I think we are in for a good ride. There are some "squishy" sections, but nothing too bad. Most is dry.
