Lesson #1 The KLR was not designed to climb steep hills.
Lesson #2 Continued from lesson One Getting up and personal with the earth hurts a lot more now then it did 20 years ago.
Lesson #3 My KLR No longer requires the use of it's front fender..
Lesson #4 The KLR hates sand like a fat girl in a thong at the beach..
Lesson #5 Girls are fast.
Lesson #6 Do not rely on cellular service to locate your party. We never did find Kenny and Hunter.


But we hooked up with Navaho and a few of his Buds. <----- Those guys are fast. Here are a few pictures.

So where is this? Was it some kind of event or just folks getting together? You guys were dragging those big fat heavy KLR's down single track trails...?
 
Its in the Kisatchie National Forest near Pineville, Louisiana. There is about 60 miles of single track. People say that the pig heavy KLR is to much for these trails, but I never cared much for people telling me what I could and could not do. (those people were right:giveup: )

Here is the link and a few more pictures. If anyone is interesed. Maybe we could met you guys there one weekend. Its only about a 1 1/2 hour drive from the Texas Line.

That is a training area in Ft. Polk. One of the building complexes is named Shugart-Gordon in honor of the two Delta operatives that were killed defending Mike Durant's helicopter in Somalia in 1993 (Blackhawk Down).

Uh... 1973? :scratch: Perhaps 1992-2000? Clinton was the Prez then and this happened under his watch ;-)
 
^^^Roger that. I've been "killed" a couple times at that little town.

Great pics! Really making me want to buy a real off-road bike.

I worked at Fort Polk the summer of 1985 doing a gas distribution survey. Let's just say that I didn't know what hot and humid was until I spent a summer there :eek2:
