Cat Herders: Shenandoah Valley Inmates

note: invest in rain gear.. decided to ride yesterday to work.. left at 11.. got caught in downpour... boots are still wet.. meh. rode today. hahaa.

amazed at the traction in rain..

So, a few weeks back I had a slight encounter with a tree on the 09 KLR and after doing the usual loosen triple tree bolts and work back and forth, I got things relatively straight, but still had that annoying slight handlebar tweak to one side. After checking front assembly parts pricing ($250 for a fork tube, $450 for a lower triple tree) on a whim I hit the Ebay site and stumbled upon a complete 2012 KLR front fork assembly with only 848 miles on it for $300. Sounded like a no brainer solution, so bought it, installed it and Humpty Dumpty is back together again with everything 100 % right. I am not sure what might be out of wacke on the old fork, and not wanting to get into a parts changing mode, bottom line is I have some front end parts for an 08 and later KLR should an inmate need something on the cheap.

Wonder what kinda street bike I could fab those on to

If only I had the time

You could put this front end on your BMW and get one of those KLR - BMW stickers to make it official

Blasphemy...I'd rather make it better not rattle and break. Who knows the bike may start heading for trees

That's fantastic Kevin! Can't wait to see the rest of your pictures and the stories to accompany them once you get time to put it all together.

Was it a clear day?

Great picture of H14 and Campcook! It almost looks like you stole the sign.

I gotta get me another Cat Herders sticker for the Tiger. Perhaps someone can give me on at BYOB or RTS?

XCrider.

Be careful it's a fun road!!

+1000!

Rhonda, Kevin, sounds and looks like you two had a great time!

Kev, you working for KLIM these days?

What's the propane tank in the background used for?

Thanks everybody.

It was a great time and I had the perfect travel companion.

Eddie, the day we went up was clear, it had rained the day before and rained the two days after we went up.

Rob, I wish.

Mica, damned if I know. Somebody probably had a little heater running up there somewhere, it was pretty chilly.

Beneath that concrete is the visitor center and gift shop.

Great Photo Kevin..
Glad ya both had a fun filled time

Cool photo! Cool place!

On another note. I was riding up 33 into VA over the weekend and saw the craziest thing I have ever seen! Three guys going down the mountain on skateboards, yeah skateboards.
Anyone else see this? Anyone former the Burg know or hear of these guys doing this?
Great day to ride though. Stopped at the dam. There were hundreds of yellow swallow tail butterflies. It looks like they were all geekn' out on the sand up there. (minerals)




I need to find some people to ride with. That way this crazy stuff isn't just coming from me.
