Dogs Who Ride Motorcycles

Dogs Who Ride Motorcycles

Dogs who ride motorcycles seem to be everywhere. The other day I saw this video about dogs riding in side cars. It made me think back over the years about all the dogs I’ve seen riding not only in sidecars but on the motorcycle either behind or in front of the rider.

Had to get one last ride in before the snow, which is coming today. One last taste of fall riding in the Bitterroot Valley. Short jaunt up to Lake Como with some irresistible scenery both natural and abandonment.

Glad to have gotten one last ride in for the season with my KLR, now time for storage and winter tinkering.

Ron a few feet from a deer and day 2, fall bike camping. Some morning rain and a little exploring on our way out. Got some burgers at Lochsa Lodge and ran into fellow ADV riders.

Less pink! New paint job on the front fender, 2 cans of rusto spray on bed liner should keep it black. Custom headlight guard, free scrap gutter screen from a roofing job, some screws out of the random screw jar, and a little bedliner. New grips too.

All free and/ or on the cheap, true to the KLR values!

LOVE THE WAWA MILK CRATE! WHAT’S KLR?

[dirtypatches]

I remember you snagging that from wawa when I was a kid Haha so some good memories go along with the iconic crate, got licence plates mounted in the bottom to keep my gear from getting spattered. My bike is a Kawasaki KLR 650, commonly referred to as a KLR for short. The smartass response would be "about 1/5 the price of a BMW".

A friends wedding gives a great excuse to get in some weekend touring!
