Great video!
Sad to say this makes me yearn for my past KLR's. Maybe #5 is out there on CL somewhere?

Halfthrottle has a ton of cool vids of his adventures in Panama. Interesting to note, he had lots of problems in mud with it and was running a street oriented tire. Turns out it's almost impossible to buy knobbies in Panama and the shipping to get stuff there is a major hassle. Check this one out, my back was sore just watching it!
He does always wear a helmet when he's riding, I think he just removed it to try to get up the hill because it was super hot and humid. I think I'd be crippled up if I had to pick mine up that many times! Lol! |

KLR's are great to ride but miserable to pick up, especially if lowsided on a hill.
I have had much practice in this manuver...

You can't ride in mud such as that with street tires. 8O It's difficult enough to ride in such mud even with excellent knobby tires! I felt sorry watching him wrestle that "pig" in the mud. :( Nevertheless, it's a great video. I'm really glad someone finally came to help him. P.S. The burro negotiated the muddy hill with ease.
