You will have a great trip.I have been riding this area for years and still find new things. Restaurants,In Green River just north of where you will be riding and worth the side trip.Raises his own beef and hand cuts his own fries.Great steaks or burgers. Mexican Hat:can't remember the restaurant's name but there is not much in Mexican Hat.This is the restaurant on the river and has the best Navajo Tacos in the world. Roads: be sure to go to Natural Bridges and then ride the road from there to Mexican Hat.You will go down the Moqui Dugway.It is steep,and scary looking,but much more scary looking then really scary.The view is magnificent,you will think you have come to the edge of the world and 1 foot farther and you will fall off into nothing.I think you can just about see to Flagstaff.Stop at Edge of the Ceders in Blanding and I could go on and on but you can't time is just always so limited.That of course gives you an excuse to come back.Let me know what days you will be in the area and if I can break away I will join you for a day or so.

What kit is this and where did you find it?

The MT90 is actually a 130.The slightly narrower size makes the RSTD and RSV handle a little better at low speeds and in parking lots.This is becoming a standard modification talked about on other boards. On thing to remember about Avons is that they ride on air not on the side walls so you may want to pump them to the max limit on the tire.I have run Avons this way since the early 70's and always got good performance out of them and good mileage.

If you go to the tech articles for 2nd generation on Venturers.org you will find a complete chart of tire sizes and www,ww,rwl and black wall including the next size smaller that many are running on the front.enjoy Paul

First thank you Puc for and excellent article on our current situation.2nd to the quote from Benjamin Disreali,please remember that we do not live in a democracy as much as many people try to make it out that we do.We live in a Republic and it has always been a republic.The Founding Fathers knew the dangers of a democracy and took great pains to avoid them by creating a republic.Yes we all vote (or should) but we elect representatives to actually make the decisions for us.That we are in the trouble we are in only means we have not been paying enough attention to who we are electing. Happy TRAils/NSD Paul
