KLR Can Do

Texas Adventure Posted on April 27, 2016 by RichardMarch 1, 2016

At 428 lbs off the showroom floor, the KLR650 is a little tougher to ride in demanding terrain than a sub-300 lb dirt-bike-with-blinkers. Still, the KLR is surprisingly capable for a big bike, as my buddy Tricepilot demonstrates on River Road in Big … Continue reading →

My first adventure bike

Texas Adventure Posted on April 1, 2016 by RichardMarch 1, 2016

What’s not to love?

Texas Adventure Posted on November 18, 2015 by RichardJanuary 22, 2016

KLRs are awesome.  They can be fixed with a rock. My buddy Mike demonstrates, using the rock to make a roadside repair to his handguards.  How can you not love a motorcycle that you can fix with a rock?

Who says Pigs can’t fly

Texas Adventure Posted on November 6, 2015 by RichardJanuary 22, 2016

Who says pigs can’t fly?  Not Marcos, seen here flying his big green Piggy (KLR650) over a jump at Cross Creek Cycle Park back in the day (2006). But, truthfully, that pig isn’t flying is it?  No, it’s admittedly just falling … Continue reading →

Texas Adventure Posted on November 4, 2015 by RichardJanuary 23, 2016

Brrrr, it’s cold! In November of 2006 Uncle and I took our first long adventure ride and visited Mexico’s famed Copper Canyon. While temps were very warm at the bottom of the canyon, they were decidedly cooler up top. The town of … Continue reading →

KLR field repairs

Texas Adventure Posted on October 28, 2015 by RichardJanuary 22, 2016

I love the KLR650.  One of its most attractive qualities is its old-school design allowing you to make field repairs with duct tape, as beautifully illustrated in this photo of Dirtbike Dave’s KLR after a crash in the remote mountains of Mexico. By … Continue reading →
