So, I have been listening to everyone, and trying to decide what ride to take up to Maine on Columbus Day weekend.
I figured I would spend a day on the KLX, and see how it went
Started out riding the powerlines again


They dont always look like much, but if you ride powerlines , you know they send the dam lines up and over, down and around and through just about anything.
Sometimes there easy



Sometimes they aint



So I was going to meet up with my wingman, and ride some local trails up in the north part of the state.
He rides a KLR 650, his son is on a RM-100 2 smoker, and another guy on an old XL-250, my brotherinlaw on his XR-250 and my nephew on his WR-250 meet us there. I had left my quad there and another buddy showed up to ride it.



We have a good old gravel bank to thrash around in, and a few good jumps built in.



Ahh, to be young again





Im gonna do this in more then one post so I dont lose everything again !!

 

nice post, excellent pic's looks like you had a good time. i haven't touched my klx in over a month......

 

heck ya man,, cant wait for the other pics

 

We have a pretty good area to ride in, the locals have been riding in there for years. There is a little gravel bank, a big gravel bank, a cool clay pit, and a bunch of rocky trails connecting everything. Its all private property, so you have to be cool, clean up, and try not to **** off any of the neighbors with loud exhausts.

We get good air off the jumps



One of these days I will teach one of the techno idiots how to point and shoot a few pictures so I can get in one or 2

Yup, he gets GOOD AIR on a KLR-650 Frickin Nut-job !!



His son loves to get out and play in the dirt with us



I am usually on the quad kickin *** and takin names, but Sunday I let the other guys ride it



Good air on the quad

 

We get into the clay pit, and man you can get some serious bite on the machines, and go like a son-of-a-bitch in there.





Its a excellent place to fart around in, we tend to thrash the snottoutta everything there. We all switch off and ride each others machine for a bit, I'll tell ya, the little KLX gets great reviews from everyone. It jumps nicely, has a great suspension, turns well, just overall a good little bike.



But when you crash, it sucks. Well, crashin sucks no matter where you do it.



Right after I snapped this picture, Jake dropped dads bike, it wasnt pleasent for him, he didnt get hurt, well, his feelings did. I think I was laughing to much and running over to help him so I forgot to take a picture, Ima' thinkin he was glad I didnt !!




I pulled a digger in there, and stuffed my wrist into the ground pretty good, all the assheads did was laugh, aw-well, screw them, see If I invite them to go north for the last ride in November ( actually I will, but I aint tellin them yet)
I am sure my accupuncturist will put a few needles in me to take away the pain.

My sister lives nearby, so after all my idiot buddys left, she dropped off my neice so she could get a chance to go out and play on the quad.



The smiles are what makes it all worth it



Now I dont know if I should bring just the quad, just the bike, or BOTH ???

 

Both!!!!!!

 

I wish we could legally ride more highlines. There's a SWEET highline out at Camp Livingston but they designated it a protected area for some stupid flower and you get a nice fat ticket if you get caught over there. Same on the gas pipeline, except for wild turkeys. However I did find an epic highline in my adventures today, might have to con the old man into tackling it with me.

 

looks like a fun day in the dirt. thanx for sharing your pics!

 

A classic CR in there too!

 

Good stuff, 42! As usual.
