Well I did it again, Had her offroad today. There was a bunch of us out evreything from a klx 250 upto an HP2. Some nice roads, However the tires on the ULY suck in the snow, They also suck in the mud, And I fell down 3 times! No major damage ecept i bent the rear brake pedal : ( But it was fun and well everyone was impressed with how well the Uly held up for a big heavy bike. Anyways here's a link with pics and otehr stuff if you guys are intereseted, and here's some of me...

I dont know if i would want to take the uly off road. In my opinion in any thing other than hard packed gravel roads the uly sucks. If i want to go off road and have fun the last thing i want to be doing is slipping and falling all the time especially with a heavy bike. I think the answer is get a real dual sport and really have some fun off road. And this is just my opinion, not ment to be arguementative.

You are right clay... It's actully great in anything other than snow and mud, loss gravel seems to be ok. I will be buying a dual sport however, But I'll still use the uly for camping trips and stuff, those fortestry campsites rock!

You got it thats exactlly what i think that the bike was intended for. Did you get to ride the new klx 250, the big thing i dont like about most new dual sports is they put those useless tiny gas tanks on. I am getting my dr 650 rebuilt again. so hopefully i will have that back for all my back road bashing. its nice to have a bike that you can totaly abuse.
