    Well I'm off on my adventure. Left Murrieta last Wednesday and made it to Mammoth as my first stop. Tahoe came next and tonight I'm 25 miles South of Susanville. Hoping to make Oregon tomorrow.

    Anyways I don't have service too often and I don't have a computer with me, so I'm putting all my pics at the following link. They might have gotten out of order, I'll fix it when I can get on a computer.

    I'm taking go pro footage of the single track or interesting trails, but I'll try to take more pictures too.

    Plan is to drop the truck off at my in-laws in Washington and go ride a big loop of Washington, Idaho and Oregon. Then pick the truck back up and drive to Colorado or Utah before heading back home through Arizona. Have to be back by the end of September...

    I didn't fall for the BDSB stuff. Just desmogged, checked the tps setting, euro map flash, and removed the sound screen in the tailpipe and she rips...

    Hey Drabnor How do you like the EU map? and how is it different from stock?

    Big difference! I love it! Stock my header would get really close to glowing red, and the end cap of my muffler would vaporize any clothing that would touch it(lost a good jacket to that). Now with the EU map the bike does not feel like it is lean all over the place and it runs a lot cooler. Didn't chart what my mpg was stock, but I'm still getting over 50 mpg now(haven't tested exactly yet). I'm sure the bike made more power when it was super lean, but I was not comfortable with it I just felt it would cause damage to the motor eventually...

    Did a nice 250 mile loop, no camping though. Decided to go light and just ride.

    Rode Rouse Hill from Hemet to Anza, then dropped down 371 to 79 to try to go up Palomar divide, but the gate was closed :-(

    Slabbed down to the top of Oriflamme then a bit more slab to Grapevine up Jasper and then more slab back past Warner Springs to Lost Creek Rd and dirt back to Anza

    Great weather, no flats or issues

    So far, so good, tire hooks up well, side knobs don't feel like you are going to fall off them, almost does not feel like a trials tire.

    Only complaint, they really, and I mean REALLY do not like steep, loose downhills. Major pucker factor! If you ride in areas with DG and steep hills, this is not the tire for you...

    The MT43 has the same issue. Would you say the the downhill issue with this tire is the same as the mt43? Worse? Not quite as bad?

    Yea mt43 has the exact same issue, I ran one on my CRF for a while. I would say they are almost exactly the same in this regard, except that the Motoz tire has the side lugs, which do help when it gets pitched sideways.

    You really have to watch your speed when entering a downhill, carry too much speed into it, and you aren't stopping or even slowing down...
