oooh, oooh, I got some more, not very "adventure" though

I now have a photo that may qualify after todays couple of hours out might change it as i'm planning to be out again later this week

About 400 miles on a KLR........that must be one of the highest mileages ever recorded on the same engine?

Really, jeez its a fucking Kawasaki even bikes made in India go farther, furthermore, one word, doohickey. No other bike made had its very own "widget"

Since Buck entered his balls i guess i can throw in with this end of 2020 field of misfits, what the hay. One last shot for the old girl, then retirement from competition. Dont let the fact its my birthday influence anybody Unless you dint get me a gift yet.

...and made a video of it Watch at the expense of your time. Can't say it's something I would recommend if I didn't spend a ton of time editing it myself Camera angles aren't satisfying to me, it's a learning curve. Plus the battery died and didn´t record the best parts, which annoyed me no end, also a learning curve as I've got an hour of filming boring shit.

Hey @MooN and @Sir Fallsalot, on the 31st I´ll just consider the last picture posted on this thread, ok?

Tell that to this guy to showed up at a KLR forum...lol..i kept telling him he got a good one. "I have a KLR650- 2020 new bike 6 days old. I have done 680 Kilometres on it and not impress at all. I enjoy the bike riding style, but I find it to be far underpowered at highway speeds of 100 kph - 110Kph. At 110 the bike struggles to rev over 6.5 revs in 4 and 5 gear. It actually struggles to maintain that speed and takes a while to get to 130 km per hour.... There are red flags coming up here for me."

I'll have you know an old friend of mine has a CB500 with over 200,000 soulless miles on it. I find a lot of people say things don't have souls because they work correctly all the time and lack the challenge of keeping them going, like a KLR that has heaps of soul

Which one do you mean? The one before the cobblestones wasn't bumpy, just a couple of jumps. The cobblestones are ancient, time did that. The forrest road after that is how forrest roads get in Portugal, distorted from tree roots below. There is a reason why "adventure" bikes have been popular in Portugal since forever, road surfaces! Thanks, but they'll stay colorless and black for now, they do look nicer than in that video in person. The bike is filthy from winter and mud.

Pretty good!

I, for one, can't imagine doing 200.000 miles in one bike and not growing to love it. If something does me the service of providing a good service I get attached to it.

I put the bottom one in to show no snow at all on the hills in the south but loads up north

I have this habit of bumping into this one friend i don't see very often in odd places on the bike and i bumped into him up there tonight haven't seen him for a year or two

That top one is a cracker Fred!

Looks a bit mucky there Chris!

Bob has never been the same.

True Legend! And developed his style from studying Jarno!

Bugger.

The DR650 is a dream bike in many ways, the problem is I need to modify it out of the showroom in order to mount the thing...? I'm thinking, keep the Himi for my dirt pig and just pretend it's like my old cars, one day you ride, two weeks you fix and repeat. So now I am thinking of something for the tarmac, something smooth and stylish for coastal highway rides. This has my attention right now.....?. Maybe it's the fancy coffees kick'n in.....
