Boys, I will try not to annoy you with my constant messages, but I am under a moral obligation to the listers to report this incident. This morning in the boonies, I had to pass a barbed wire fence gate. So I dismount, lay down the gate made of sticks with barbed wire, pass the KLR, and close back the gate again. There was a mare, that s a female horse, yegua in Spanish, trying to get out. I thought I had scared her off, but she managed to run out. So, lose the helmet, on the bike, and after her. When I passed her, I chased her back into the gate, revving and shouting. Only an Aztec red KLR will do that. I thought you might wanne know. Jacostarica.

Hello Jake, Such a nice story for a 'red' KLR. cough. Up north here, in South Dakota, we don't just use the KLR to chase girly-man animals like 'mares', but we also use the green KLR to chase manly-man livestock like BULLS; sic no yegua, solomente `toro' CHAROLAIS BULLS and his wives, perhaps the second meanest bovine on the farm, behind a Holstein bull. One invitation was enough of that! After that, I want my 4x4 KLR, "Polly-the dun quarter horse" for such endeavors. Yes, a good quarter horse is smarter than a KLR. On the other hand, I also use the KLR to seek out other various `strays' in the parish. Got to get there somehow, might as well do it on a KLR. Met one of those strays on a gravel road today while he was driving a feed truck. Only took 45 minutes to go the final 12 feet past the truck-cab door. Smile. And the parish pays mileage. Smile again. HONEST TO GOODNESS WARNING: If you are doing any KLRing in the open country with gates to open and close, or you are in open range country where you are crossing cattle guards, be very aware of the livestock. Some are very territorial! revmaaatin.
