So, last night, me and my brother were trying to decide where to go for a ride. The drive to the mclure ferry was an option, but i suggested something more apt for the offroad motorcycles that we both were driving. It was decided that we would ride up in bachelor, and try to get to deep lake. The offroad ride that we rode (in red) was within 1 km of the main road(Westsyde Rd.) so if anything happened, we didnt have to worry too much about getting help or coasting the bikes down.As it happens the bro was trying to work some bugs out of the bike, so this was a good trip, and with a few idle adjustments his bike was ticking along great.
This being my first attempt at anything other than easy grade logging roads i was a bit nervous. There are at least 4 to 5 very steep 100-150 foot slopes that required alot of leaning to climb. By the end i had cut my teeth at the fine are of hill climbing.
We stopped ont he way back at turtle hump, and regretted not bringing the camera. But it will come with us for sure.
So at the end of the day, there were no drops, no damage. The KLR650 performed amazing. A smaller bike would have handled better because it would have been shorter, but the KLR has alot of torque, so even when i was learning how to line up the hill in the wrong gear, it tractored through.
We are going to have to do that again!
