 Hi GotThrottle
  Welcome to the site. Lots of great information here. I spend much time riding Northern Michigan on my KX500. Baldwin,Kalkaska,Cadilac and Bull Gap are some favorites.  I plan to install the paddle and try the dunes this year.
   Give me a shout and maybe we can roost the red bikes together. Im not street legal so the MCCT is off limits for me. Are you a member of the Michigan Cycle Conservation Club ?

Hi there Johhniespeed

Living in South Boardman (about 8 miles south of Kalkaska) I ride the Grand Traverse, Fife Lake, and Leetsville loops without the trailer.  It is great to have the K5 plated but I try not to push it.  I been dieing to get over to Bull Gap but haven?t had time yet this year.  I haven?t figured out yet how to contact you directly, but if you are headed up this way drop a line on this thread and I will see what I can do to meet you. 

No, I do not belong to the Cycle Conservation Club yet.  They appear to run dual sports and tend to frown on the motocross bikes with a plate bolted to the rear fender.  But I am eyeing one of those new KTM 525 EXC-G that comes completely street legal.  While it is a nice looking, light, trail bike, I am having a moral dilemma with the four stroke.  Never owned one but unfortunately times are changing.  Once I acquire the dual sport I will probably join the CCC and maybe do the six day ride.

Hi there maddoggy

If you are going to ride the dunes in Michigan I suggest you head to the Silver Lake Dunes.  I do not think you will get a very warm welcome on your K5 at the sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.  And if you are heading over to the Silver Lake Dunes make sure you have a flag and a USFS approved spark arrester.  The DNR will inspect it.  Don?t want to be setting those sand dunes on fire!!!    :roll:
