I bought an AK47 up at a gun shop outside of Greenville, Texas. I tied it to my back seat with the bayonet extended and not in any kind of case, just for grins, and drove home through a couple of rough little towns between work and home. Not a single double take.

Subject: [DSN_KLR650] Re: attaching Kolpin gun case to KLR
you would think living in Houston area that i would not. but the
truth is i do. people don't tail gate at all which is a huge problem
here, especially at stop lights. and i do get a lot of double takes
which i like to believe is due to my good looks.
) i'm sure due
to all of the racks on my bike and a fairly large sand camo gun case
i look like the road warrior going down the road. all i need now is
a cut down double barrel shot gun in a slip case across my handlebars
to complete my image.
