KLR goes where I never thought it would go!

[Jules]

So I set off on my little HardCore ride today. I found some nice single spoor MX track on the opposite side of the river from Daytona.
Some serious technical stuff for a non MX bike. I had a ball! The KLR astounded me, as long as I had total faith in the bike I got up and down places I would battle to walk up. I didn't take my camera and was way too busy to take many pictures on my cell. The only pics I took was after making this insane hill, loads of lose rocks and some vertical sections that the KLR ramped up. I was so shocked at making it I turned around and took some pictures.

That last section is as near as vertical as you can get

Never thought i would have so much fun on such crazy terrain!

Hats off Jules, well done!

 

[Eisbein]

Nice!

Yeah - not saying about anyone's capability, but I think overall our bikes are better than what our confidence will allow...


On the other hand, in the hands of a skilled rider you can do most anything with any bike.


It does take some mucho cahoonies and skill to tackle a hill like that - well done.

Silly question Jules.

What is writing off two KLRs in one month in one family going to do to your future insurability?  ???

Were I in the insurance game I would not like to be your underwriter.

A jewish friend has a good name for riding that hill - "meshuggenah"

eish - rather you than me !

 

[shark_za]

Well done.
You will be surprised what a good rider can do on a KLR.

 

[Camelman]

Respect bru....  To you and your bike!!

We have been with outsurance for 4 years and never laid a claim as we were the type of people that would rather pay the small items our selves and recoup some money from the outbonus, Since my bike accident happened 2 days before we were supposed to receive said bonus and they were very quick to take it away even though the accident was not my fault I have changed my mind and will not be hesitant to claim as I was. Also my accident was not my fault and it is the first claim we have ever made to O/S I don't think it will go up too much just yet.

Thanks for the good comments folks, I still look at the pictures and think Noooit! but I was just in the right frame of mind on Sunday.



The thing is there is a hill just to the right of this one thats about twice as steep........
