Cool! Thanks Eric. I'm feeling a long weekend of riding coming on.

 

I like just north of WV and we are constantly going south to ride KLR650 type bikes and small dirtbikes. WV is a beautiful state, awesome for 2 wheels.

 

Out of everyone on this website i think you have gotten the most bang for your buck out of this little bike, great stuff.

 

Yah dude get it!

 

EMS, The camera does not truly capture the steepness of the hills and the tightness of the trails. Thanks to you, I can never brag about my riding skills again. I have never been on anything like that. My single track and trails are sand, dirt, and woops. It's hard to find a rock in south Jersey. My hat is off to you!
I am hoping to borrow a camera from a friend of mine soon. When I do, I will post my ride.

 

It has really taken me places.
Florida in 2007


Borrowed KLX for this weekend, but Pine Barrens NJ in 2007


up over multiple rocky mountain passes in 2011






Countless local excursions.




I love my KLX.

The one guy that came with us on this trip was a GNCC former champ, and he even said i impressed the hell out of him on my bike. Everyone else was on light 2 strokes and i had the 300lb KLX. But i know how to make it run, and fast. The one guy on our local club said this "EMS ruled in the gnarly stuff. The gnarlier it got the more EMS shined. we were blown away at how he could manhandle a 300 pound bike in the gnarliest stuff EVER!" I think I can ride pretty good for starting riding in 2006 and the KLX is my first motorcycle ever.

Too many people are so quick to get a better bike when their abilities are not up to par. They replace riding skill with a better machine. I feel the KLX is still way more capable than i am.

 

Yea, the camera doesnt catch the terrain that well, but i think in these videos it looks steep, so you know how steep it actually was. NJ is easy riding. Its all flat and sand. lol

I think i have the part of a normal person's brain missing that says " this is a bad idea, you might crash and get seriously injured" I never think about what im doing like that i just ride.
