Now that I own a KLR, I want to be the first....

[i_am_the_koi]

Nick and April getting high inspired me.

Now I want to be the first to ride a KLR to the to of Mt Everest.

I'll put in 365 ice spikes in the tires. Here's a tip: put the pointy point facing OUT. Okay I reversed all those and put in new tubes.

I'll put ice in the cooling system so it won't freeze.

The cheap Chinese heated grips I bought melted as soon as I put the propane torch on them so I went with the electric type.

I have hippo hands and hippo feet installed.

A windshield from a 67 Chevy.

Bare wires from the battery under the seat so it heats it up.

A rope on the handlebars attached to the front fender so I could swing it down to make it a ski if I need it.

Three extra doohickeys installed.

Enough microwave food and jerky to last 3 months.

2W5 oil in.

Large backpack frame so I can carry the bike when I have to rappel up sheer rock faces.

And a milk crate...

Anything I'm forgetting?

By the time you reach the summit it will be -25 horsepower.

A full face helmet to conceal your identity for riding a KLR.

This is how I would get ready for a jaunt down to the store...

No way! I wanted people to see my smile... :x

I hear people often need a Super Sherpa to assist with the climb.

:wow WOW, I'm thinking that might be loaded a tad over the GVWR!

You'll need at least 10lbs of Oxygen for yourself, prob. about 100lbs more for the KLR.

Congrats on the KLR Koi.

Start with Mt Hamilton and work your way up from there man. Maybe Mt Tam.

Haha, That guy lives here in the city and has taken that KLR more places than most would. I sold him the luggage racks.. Good guy..


Koi - Don't forget to do the dime mod...

Your attraction to cult bikes proves itself yet again.
This time things might be serious. We may never hear from you again. KLR people eventually end up associating exclusively with other KLR people. I can't tell you why that is, I simply don't know. Each time someone I know buys a KLR they disappear before I can ask them. It's kinda like those horror movies where the guy walks off in to the woods and doesn't come back. Then the guy that goes in to the woods to look for him doesn't come back. Then the guy that goes in to the woods to look for that guy......
Nice bike and nice knowing you.
