I took a cheeky little jaunt in between loads of laundry and found this cool spot on top of a mountain. Riding the ridge line was a ton of fun.

Interesting I never would have thought that busy twin would tractor. Do you have a bash plate on it? If I ever dump the KLR I was wondering how it would do fire roads.

It did great at low rpm with just the tiniest bit of throttle applied(about 2.5-3k rpm). It never bogged on hills or anything and I was able to engine brake on the downward slopes with very little actual braking. I never even bothered turning off the ABS. The bash plate and crashbars are both from TRex Racing. The plate is their heavy duty model. I havent been able to do anything but scratch either of them so far. The only damage has been to my knee from hitting the bars while stepping off the bike in a parking lot lol
