    Oh boy. I can see a replica of that in your backyard soon. The big question on the steps is, are you going up them, or down them? Big difference. I prefer doing down them......

    Up the gravel, and over the tire, than some sort of evil right handed 180, up the sand pile and down the steps. At least I hope that's right, BTW there was nothing this hard last year. :clap

    And I can hear my wife now... "sweet heart, why is your motorcycle on the front porch, and what are those black marks on the steps...."

    Andrew, that picture has got me wondering what evil they are trying to come up with...Going down the steps would be way too easy, I'll bet you $1 we are going up them and then into the gravel and sand! It should be fun!
    I had Guy install some new TKC's this week along with some ROX risers. The 15T front sprocket is on the way from TT. I will be ready to play!

    That's probably true, but figured I'd get it done while it was fresh on my mind. I tend to get busy and push stuff like that out until it's a scramble to find lodging.

    Regardless, it's done.

    Honestly, I only snore when I drink! :1drink You can ask my wife!
    Seriously, if someone wants to share a room for the GS Trophy, PM me soon. Those photos make me drool, smile, and wince all at once.

    EDIT: Booked a room at the Holiday Inn. PM if you want in.

    It isn't like the people running the s500 do this as their day job. Given last weeks was a holiday week for most before the kids went back to school, they might not of been on top of their email.

    I don't have an answer for Klim other than looks for alternate contact info.

    Klim responds to me every time I contact them. It was a holiday weekend too so you have to account for that. They are a great company with awesome products. They passed with flying colors on my last crash test.

    You should call Klim. They answer the phone and can take care of your issue then and there. I would not ask for a refund. Their products are great, not yours in this case, and they deserve the chance to make things right with you. I do not think it is too much to ask for a replacement rather than a repair. You may even want to consider a different style as perhaps there are issues with the ones you picked.Give them a call and kill them with kindness.I find it is better to start that way.

    Got them on the phone. They won't do a replace. I've got to ship them back. Hopefully it won't cost too much.

    Hey guys Im trying to get a few people together for a ride possibly this weekend. Im still relatively new to the area especially in the area of places to ride. I know one person for sure who is up for the ride but is a little gun shy about riding off road with out a guide.

    Let me know.
