Almost time to break out the longies and the scotch. Or at least the scotch.

This is gonna suck.

I've seen this happen before, around this time last year and I recall all the things that went wrong.

God mis-set the thermostat and the temps plummeted.

The sun went down to California for about 3 months. Unless I glanced out the window at work, I never saw it.

Clouds everywhere, wind, and sometimes fog. The fog would freeze. How rude.

White $hit fell out of the sky, although thankfully last year, not where I was. I can't count on that good luck continuing though.

I froze my knutskies off on a regular basis riding the bike.

PLEASE tell me it's not gonna happen again!

I HATE WINTER!

SpudRider 10-11-2013 10:25 PM

Yes, I also hate winter. :tdown:

MICRider 10-13-2013 07:48 AM

Not a fan of winter here either! Maybe they'll cancel it this year and we'll just have a really long fall?? Wishful thinking on my part :)

Lol, okay, it's not ice and snow yet so you might not want to check this ADV link out. There's a couple of really entertaining videos to watch as well. Save it till your snowbound for entertainment and then plan accordingly... Lol! :hmm:

I couldn't resist looking at a few photos, Stew. Indeed, I wait wait until I am snowbound before I read that thread. ;) Thanks for posting the link. :)

Too Hard Core. Thumbs up!

Crazy Canadians ;-)

The KLR. The one bike to have if you're having only one.

SpudRider 10-13-2013 02:34 PM

Speaking of The Killer, our new member, Kurt Franz from Ohio, also owns a 2008 KLR650. ;)

Aye, a popular bike indeed! :)
Love mine, but it could be about 100 pounds lighter and 2 inches shorter to be perfect :tup:

I could say the same about my Honda XR650L. :hehe:

Isn't that the truth! :) I really felt sorry for Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman as they wrestled with those mammoth BMWs! :ohno:

When they couldn't get the KTM bikes Charley wanted, they should have taken KLR650 motorcycles! :tup:

That bike essentially exists. It's called the Husqvarna Terra, it's about 100 pounds lighter than the KLR, with some pretty awesome suspension and chassis components. I doubt, however, that it is any less tall.

FastDoc 10-13-2013 05:08 PM

It's also EFI with a Testaresta engine.

MICRider 10-14-2013 12:07 AM

I'd love to check the Terra's out, I haven't seen any on the road here yet though. Love a lighter dual sport, have to carry extra fuel, the tank looks teensy! :)
