RE: Adventure motorcycle travel
My tires didn't help. I was running a Michelin dual sport tire, 150's on the back and 110's up front. With a more aggressive tire maybe I could have lifted the front end, but it's very hard to get any weight off the front on this bike. It's a very heavy bike, 550 lbs, with roadbike style weight bias. My sand episode was more of a sand dune, very loose stuff. The front tire knifes in. I've since learned to stay clear of anything that looks soft.
