    Kawasaki not putting a temp gauge is like Adam taking a KLR to the outback without swapping tires or footpegs or putting on Barkbusters. Confidence level: Legendary

    FINALY IVE WAITED FOR THIS MOMMENT EVER SINCE I FOUND THIS CHANNEL!! 1 year ago. I drive a Gen 1 KLR and its the bike I started and learned on and I have to say with that bike and this channel i grown to love that bike and the freedom of adventure riding, and Im only 17 and may have only drivin 20ks but it feels like an eternity and feeling that will never end.

    I&apos;m 72 now, quit riding at 50 and bought a 22 KLR last year to begin riding again. &nbsp;Wanted a low horse goat and I got just what I wanted. Yeah it&apos;s heavier than anything I&apos;ve ridden before but it&apos;s more stable than I thought it &nbsp;could be. &nbsp;Moto camping in the western US of A is awesome no matter what vehicle I do it in or on. &nbsp;<br>The KLR effect is real!

    To see you on a much more basic bike is, at least for me, so much more relatable.

    My first (and current) bike is a KLR. For the past 46k miles I&apos;ve put on her, I can&apos;t really complain about too much. Basic, but great bike. Her name&apos;s Jackie because she&apos;s a jack of all trades and a master of fun.

    I&apos;ve watched a lot of your videos, Adam. I can say without any reservation, I have never heard you laugh so much before. Must be the KLR effect lol. <br>Great ride, good fellas, looked like a real hoot.

    Awesome to see Rem on her CRF in this one. She is at the opposite end of the riding spectrum to Adam, but her passion is just as strong.

    Smart move by you and Kawasaki to improve the profile of the brand and to also get more people into adv riding on any budget. <br>I’ve learned through my experience that it’s 99% the rider and 1% the bike. The more that this video get people into enjoying Adv riding the better. <br>A credit to you and Kawasaki for jointly taking on this project. Looking forward to the coming episodes. &nbsp;😎

    The trick with the KLR is that hurrying around makes for bad experiences… take your time, smell the flowers enjoy the ride!
