Trail of the Bigfoot

THIS PART GETS REAL NARROW 😳🔥

Rolling the Trail Of The Bigfoot along Lake James… and suddenly the road tightens into a narrow solid crossover.

Water beside you, mountains in the distance, and just enough room to stay in your lane—this is where the ride gets your full attention. 🏍️🌄

Spring colors are popping, the view is unreal, and for a moment… it’s just you and the edge.

And out here… you never know what might be watching. 👣

A little rainy day fun with the KLR.
I sawed the resonator cap off the spark arrestor to see if I can get a better sound. Personally, I can’t tell much of a difference.
