I laid it down. But, I did take it out on some mountain trails and creek crossings and thankfully didn't drop it in a creek! Yeah, my 1st Gen KLR is notably lower the this T7.

Thanks. Yeah, it's a rental that I took out for the day to see if it's the bike I want........Yep, it's the bike I want so now I just have to find one! Heck....I can even pick it up when I lay it down!

Face it......if you can't prove your Overlanding, then your not Overlanding....

Had a awesome day on the rental T7! Managed to put over 350 miles of highway, surface roads, twisties, mountain pass, dirt, streams and rocks in 8 hours! Even made sure the old guy could pick it up if it goes down.........Not to mention, your not Overlanding if you can't prove your Overlanding...

What do you need to take? Racing gear, clothes, tools, parts, camping gear, food, etc.....? 500 miles round trip over how many days? isn't a long distance so you could actually get by with a backpack and being very selective about what you take. BTW, sounds like an awesome experience! be safe.

Thanks! I appreciate your thoughts and shared experience. I'm going to hang onto the ole KLR as a shop bourbon bar and conversation piece for the foreseeable future. Just got to get the insulation and wall paneling up so I can have a more permanent corner for it. Cheers.

Well it's happenin.......After 20 years and this last adventure ride my old KLR650 is offically retired. Tuesday morning I'm renting a 2023 Yamaha Tenere T700 for the day to test ride and start my data gathering on my next ATC Adventure bike. While I will miss my old friend I'm looking forward...

Been too busy to do any real traveling this year with my 60...mainly Club meetings and the occasional run down the mountain for stuff. One of my main concerns over the last couple of years has been the theft of these old trucks in the Denver/Front Range area of Colorado.

Looking real hard at the Yamaha T700......if i can ever find one to test ride first.

The next morning leaving 3Steps and I have to climb to the top of the local mountain to get cell coverage for Scott to come get me (Again) so we can fix the rear tube in his bike shop!

FWIW......When you haven't had a flat tire in years and you think you have a front tube and a rear tube but, then realize for some dum reason you have two front tubes in your tire repair kit! Your in the middle of no where so you put the front in the rear and Carry On. (Note: it gets you out...

When your buddies GS800 stalls out on a steep grade, launches the front wheel into the air and he sails off like Superman.....something is gonna break! Thank god it wasn't him!

First Colorado Pass trip (Cumberland Pass) in 2004 on the 2003 KLR Same place, person, bike and Pass in 2023! He's earned his retirement!

Knife odor? Never heard of such an issue with stainless steel and quality components....

Yeah, not the tire I would have chosen but, this was the KLR's last run and they were on it. The KLR is officially retired now and will become a conversational piece in the corner of the ATC design studio. They even survived 6 hours of climbing up Imogene pass.....That was a real work!

A true gentleman.

Just a little story in the day of life of an adventure rider........You enter Disappointment Valley, Colorado. Your buddy gives you a SPOT satellite rescue becon. You go into the desert heading to Utah. You get a flat. You miss your turn due to the trail being over grown with sunflowers. You get...

Ok, I'll ask since I'm a bit of tech clothing guy.....why this hoodie?

Launch on Monday....final prep and test drive today.

Sorry for hurting your feelings.
