Just a little update on the tires, we chose a TKC for the front and a Heideneau Scout for the rear of both bikes. We have done quite a bit more offroad than just a simple blast through the TLH and the tires are holding up well. All this mileage has been done in two weeks.

This is the second set of Heidi's on the F650. I would consider it true 50/50 tire.The first set was 90% pavement and has about 6500 miles on it and about 40% tread left. This set was fresh when we left, and should easily make it home another 1500 miles or so. The only gripe I have is (and it not a really fair one for a 50/50 tire), is do N.O.T get that tire into mud.
Heading to Twillingate today.
