Kelly's Ride?

Recommended Posts

I met up with some new friends, not members here, but they took me on a Kelly Ride in Ocotillo.  Has anybody heard of this route?  Supposedly named after a deceased desert racer?  Lots of sand through a long wash and then back to the highway along a power line road.  Man, I missed my old GoldenTyre fatty front tire in all that sand.  I currently am running  a Motoz Tractionator RallZ on the front and it sucks for sand.  Ran 12 lbs air up front.  Anyway, it was fairly fun ride of you like sand.  I needed the practice.

I actually love the RallZ front in sand and deep sand. But I’m on a 1200.

Maybe it's the size.  My front is a 80/90-21 on the left on this photo.  FYI, the bike in the center with no rider has a fatty GoldenTyre.

Have you tried the Fatty?

 

Has more sidewall height for increased pinch flat protection for a heavy bike

Agreed. I haven’t ridden South of the 8 in a looong time.

 

How were the trails compared to Plaster City / North of the 8?

I doubt they make a fatty for the 1200 GS, have never heard of one but I haven’t checked either. 
a great tire on a 600lb pig can suck on a middleweight and vice versa. The Karoo 3’s come to mind.
