We don't have an off season in Oklahoma.  We ride year round.

My plans are to ride!! Here in Socal winter IS the riding season. I'm just finalizing getting the two K5's ready. The '04 got nothing but new number plate backgrounds and fresh grease and fluids. The '93 got a new rear tire, Radiator tabs welded back on and chain and sprockets. Thinkin' since I have the two bikes I may dedicate the '93 to Glamis-only duty. If that's the case I need a paddle and some other "sand ready" mods to add to the list. :-D

That was an old snow picture, I've up graded the 4 wheeler since then.  The dog gave full approval.  She's more into 2 wheelers.

Yeah, I thought about studding up my spare stock tires with some screws and doing the same.  Great little bikes and you know they're virtually bullet-proof as Kawasaki has been using this motor for years.  (KSR110 street bike and I believe the 110 Mojave)
Deffinately fun to flattrack with some friends or even bang some bars on a minimoto track.
