Default 2008 ride shots and photo thread

Got my picture CD today.. I've got a lot more, but I only had time to upload a few. Check 'em out!
They did NOT get pics of me grinding the peg
Maybe they were left out intentionally?








A nice shot of the gauges:

I really wish he would have taken a pic of me leaned all the way over grinding the hell out of the peg. I ground about 1/4" off the peg feeler.

Glenn,
Did you happen to notice the speedo error on the '08. Is it still 5-10% low?

Did they get rid of the PARK setting on the lock cylinder?

Also, somebody better come up with a rear brake line cover/guard. That sucker's gonna get snagged off-roading.

HAHAHAhahahaaaaaa...LOL spit my damned cana & coke across the room on that pic & commentary..."Glenn McQueen from KLR650.net got stuck showin' off."

now someone had to have dumped the bike to test the plastics... give it up

no dump = no real test ride

looks like a fun trip...so u got the helmet and i keep wondering how u got home???
