Desert Run on the Q
Took my Qlink on a ride this morning, thought I would share.
I've broken the 1500 km mark and the bike still runs perfect. Not as fast as my RM250 but still a blast to ride. It gets more looks too. Overview of some of the desert just North of Phoenix. Riding is serious business, no smiling allowed. My $10 fender bag from Wal-Mart, found it in the bicycle accessories. |

You, the Q and the scnery all look great. How are you making out on the sand? That gave Q and I fits, especially with the stock tires.

Yeah sand takes work with the stock tires. I think that's why I have so much fun on it. My RM can get through anything by pinning the throttle and holding on whereas the Q takes finesse.

Looks like you will be in for a replacement rear soon anyway.

Awesome pics, thanks for sharing . Everytime I see pics of a Q or Konker I'm sad that I sold mine. Enjoy the ride!
Cheers, Stew |

Thanks for posting the great photos, PR! It appears your bike is shod with a Kenda, K270 rear tire. I encourage you to try a Kenda, K760, TrakMaster rear tire next; that tire should work well for you.

It looks like it was a great day for a ride. Thanks for the pics.
I appreciated the comment about pinning the throttle on your RM.
