Who’s Going to the LoE BMW Rally?
This weekend is the 35th Annual Bavarian Mountain Weekend Rally, hosted by the Land of Enchantment BMW Club of New Mexico. Foolishly, they asked me to be one of the speakers at this year’s rally, so I’m grabbing a F850GS test bike and heading out to Taos County. Will I see you there?

1998 Kawasaki KDX200
Kawasaki introduced the KDX line as a small enduro in 1980. In 1986, they revised the KDX200 with lots of features from the KX125 motocrosser, and Kawi was one of the very few manufacturers offering a two-stroke enduro at the time. It was well loved by riders, so much so that even when Kawasaki introduced a 250 of the KDX …
