I can see the hydro plant on the Michigan side in your photo. Not quite Downtown in the Sault. The Sault is not cross country, did you go around the top to get home ? I am sure you enjoyed that ride its a nice ride. Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRider Posted July 31, 2009 Share #12 Posted July 31, 2009 Charlie, That's a nice long trip with the stock plank...er... I mean ... seat. There is an ATV pad from Walmart that fits well. Took the KLR to work Tuesday and did about 350 miles. Got the Sargent seat put on a couple of weeks ago and it is a Huge improvement. Tempted to do an Iron Butt with it just to say I did. Looks like you had a great trip. RR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
