East of I-45, tires make a big difference on the big bikes. At a minimum, I would run a more aggressive tread DS tire, like a Heidenau K60 or something similar. The more street biased tires will do very poorly in the sand or the occasional road with fresh gravel.
thank you! Looking forward to it.

No pressure on him now eh...?
Hi DinHouston, What kind of ride are you looking for? I have a few dual sport routes if you would like to meet up? I live on the north west side of Houston in Cypress and like to start my rides at Bucee's in Waller TX.Newbie here, any thoughts on a ride?

I am switching out my stock Metzlers on the Tiger for some TKC70's in before April (already have them in the garage). Hoping to also get back to a little off-road riding. If jdsmetx has a easier-ish DS ride to break them in, I'd be game & we could ride up fro the SE side. Just let me know.Sounds good; I am on the other end in Clear Lake, but it’s only an hr or so to Waller w/o traffic. I’d be interested in a dual sport ride, but haven’t been offroad since I was a kid.
