XMXVET Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) It was a wonderful day of riding. It was also my first time aboard a European dirt bike other than a Bultaco or Montessa (I am ancient!) The morning wasn't too hot, and the dirt condition was perfect. Thanks Bryan & Steve for a terrific time. You guys are first class gentlemen!

Administrators Bryan Bosch Posted June 20, 2017 Administrators My Ride Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 XLADV'ers, XMXVET rides a KLR650 and the only reason he had to work to keep up was the HP advantage of the 690 and 701. This boy tosses around that KLR like a 450 mx bike! John, you were on it dude! And, a great day... right up to the point where the 701 decide to bite throttle jockey Steve. "Respect the 701!" - this bike has some hit from the mid range on up. Steve is the Kamikaze rider of the group. Had a perfect power slide at speed through a long, sandy sweeper, but just past the apex, he never let up! Tire managed to find traction, front tire lofted, yada, yada, yada, "Can't breath, ribs broken!" Fortunately x-rays only show deep, deep bruising... Heal up soon Steve. Time to ride!!!! John's ready too! Oh, and those Doubletake Mirrors took a hard hit, folded up, but no damage. Good stuff you make there Ned! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XMXVET Posted June 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Steve's picture says it all! I hope he is healing quickly. I am anxious to get out again soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XMXVET Posted June 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Actually, what the picture does not convey is his good natured and humorous attitude about the crash! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XMXVET Posted June 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 At least the KLR makes a good medevac vehicle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
