Same around here we would have done the route on dirt roads, but they were some greasy.

Amazing pics, Keith; you're made of tougher stuff than I am.

I noticed the bilingual sign, and I hadn't given that any thought before. New Brunswick has a high level of bilingualism, so it only makes sense that Maine would as well.

That was only 20 miles or so from the border

Another ride this past weekend this time with Tourfella luggage mounted. I did not feel any real handling difference with the luggage mostly empty. The wind and 70 mph speeds felt just fine with these boxes on. End the ride with some real single track, water, mud, and logging slag. No photos at that point I was trying to stay upright and not stranded I was alone at this point. Made it thru bike & I in one piece, covered in mud however. Never again with stock tires on. This bike is way too much fun.








You can see the Tusk panniers on the KLR here and the Tourfellas on MeiZen

I have a set of Shinko SR244 Golden Boys to go on, but did not have time to mount them before the ride.

Judging from the signs, you must have been somewhere near Oxford.



I encourage you to switch the tires as soon as possible. You can always wear out the stock tires next summer. If you drop the bike you might need to spend money for replacement parts.

Tires are going on this week,

Lynchville, ME between Stoneham & Waterford ME. corner of Rt.5 RT35. Oxford as mentioned on Google maps is about 25 miles away. It is Oxford county that must be what they are referring to.
