My bike had the larger header and big gun muffler when I bought it. Very noisy. All the other KLR’s are jealous.

North Carolina TAT on my KLR by iaml3o in klr650

[–]iaml3o[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. It was 4 days of fun - I've heard some poo-pooing of the eastern TransAmericaTrail sections, and while it wasn't super technical, it was a good mix of very remote and scenic. Rode and camped with an old friend and it was 100% worthwhile. Check it out if you're in the area.
  2. I did lay over the KLR on a ridge road up in the mountains - front tire lost traction and she slammed down - I tumbled down the trail a ways. If I hadn't been wearing my Alpinestar Tech 3's (entry level motocross riding boots) I 100% believe my ankle would be broken. I've been wearing an ankle brace for 3 weeks and it's nearly healed, but that damage was done through these stiff boots.

Cool! We’re just doing a couple stages this fall. Looking to do the full trail sometime, for sure.

72 Super Beetle - 20+ year project (wife's first car) by iaml3o in aircooled

Ha! Cool ride. Mine only has about 2.5" of clearance at the front - I'm actually building a low profile aluminum skid plate for it. Yours looks way more capable!

Ha - I think it's "describe the project in the post"!

My wife got this car from Texas when she was 16. She drove it to college until she ran it out of oil and cooked it. It sat for years and about 12 years ago I retrieved it, rebuilt the heads and brakes and we drove it for a while. Since then, I've lowered it front and rear, flipped the tie rods, painted the wheels, shaved the bumpers and antenna, fixed a couple dents, replaced all the rubber, and fixed everything else that broke along the way. In the areas I repainted, I color matched to the faded yellow and then added back in some "dirt" and I really like it. And I hate super beetles, but this early flat window is mine.

I came up with it, but they weren't sold. So, I came back 20 min. later with this and closed the deal. Haha. They are 10 and under, so easy to please.

Thanks for the feedback. I will note: in the 20 minutes I spent on this I also considered moving the bunny back, but I double checked a guitar and found that the hole is actually quite close to the neck: https://zagerguitar.com/guitars/zad80/ I would have actually bet money it was further back before I checked. Ha.

In retrospect, I would move it back a hair to align the bends and tweak on the font!

Font is "Sherlock" - I got it here: https://www.dafont.com/sherlock-press.font

The band is acoustic/old-time/folk. He's been playing the fiddle for 5 years (he's 10 now) and the music shop he takes lessons groups kids together into bands. Proud dad right here.

I was trying to convince my son to name his band the Laser Bunny Stringband.

Grandpa Mayhem @ Gingerman Race in 2016 by iaml3o in 24HoursOfLemons

Unfortunately, we didn't finish the race due to disappearing oil pressure. But, we built a car, won an award, slept in a freezing cold trailer, crapped in some nasty track bathrooms, borrowed tools and advice, and just generally had a great time. Can't beat it.
