Default Tom Edison Ride Report

Hey Tom I got the ride report pulled over from the ADV site, here is the link...

http://www.advrider.com/forums/showt...5#post14117045


Mature local gentlemen ride KLX's on FS17

I needed to put some miles on my new ride and
Kelvy need to exercise his leg so up the South
Skagit to FS17 we go




We tried a spur that we always by passed and found
some new big views




a lenticular cloud was hanging over Mt. Baker



the future we went the more interesting it became



the hill climber does it well




The Birdsview view



the Red one's are faster





we detoured to fuel up the short range (100 miles +?) light weights



Turnsleft good turns a flat tired, tired ride/rider
I'm a happy fellow with the red one and Kelvy is a
good friend.

+1 Great pics! Thanks for posting. Always see some beautiful scenery when people put up shots of WA. I thought it rained all the time there.

Great pictures. I love the lenticular cloud formations. I don't think I ever lived high enough to see them much until I moved to the desert. Seeing all that green makes me want to head north....but, there's all the rain you guys deal with! Sometimes the grass IS greener other places, but, doesn't mean I'd want to live there...I don't have to worry about rust in the desert. (Dry-rot, yes. Rust, no.)

Nothing much better than a visually stunning ride with a good riding partner!

The wind screen is the stock one from the '08 KlR. I think it helps on the highway.
