New Badlands came home yesterday. Noticed a few changes between gen 1 and gen 4. Jacket -) Very pleased that annoying glove gaiter is gone. Hated those things for 9.5 years. -) Vents are significantly different. Gone is the long zipper going across the arm pit. That was often challenging...

it's been that faded for many years. Hi viz does not hold up. It's the grime look that never fades no matter how much it gets washed. Pretty sure the next set will be all black. I accept that 9+ years is enough to put this gear into semi retirement (kinda like a buddy of mine). JT is going...

Romney Cycles was great about getting me the receipt. Freshly washed and generous DWR application. Dried as indicated to activate the DWR. Looked up the Gore site for the instructions and read the exclusions. 9.5 years of hard use and my gear qualifies under Gore's limit for the end of its...

If I could only count the number of times you and I have been mistaken for twins. That African shocked me. I almost went there that time before I was overrun by the SASsy Austrian.

It's amazing how much damage a suicidal squirrel can do when hitting the brake rotor. Sucker must have been running fast.

Not sure if this makes me the little devil sitting on your shoulder, but...JUMP! Does that make Uncle Bob the angel on the other shoulder? I also look forward to catching up at some point.

Nice job on the video. It shows you had a calm wind day. In my experience, that's very rare up there. I've only had one of those. It was also my only COG train ride up. I showed up on a bike the next day and was denied access due to high winds. Thanks for sharing your ride. Really...

Congrats. I feel like I should already know this...what's next?

As someone who has done 2 valve checks on my SAS, I say congrats on the Multstrada. What a cool bike. I understand the addition. I'm pretty sure I'll end up do a third valve check someday, but the Goldwing has slowed that rate. A little more than 12K on the GW in the first year, so I'm sure...

Dolly Sods?

Thanks, but it's definitely not a Klim claim. I believe their warranty was one year when I bought this gear nearly 10 years ago. This will be a Gore-tex inquiry. My experience with them has been very positive. Those were all boot claims. We'll see what they say about gear this old. The...

The owner of Romney came back with the one Romney Klim receipt I did have (Lattitude). Im hopeful they'll have the receipt I'll need.

After another fruitless search that was my next thought. Fortunately, I bought the gear from Romney Cycles. I know the owner fairly well. If they have the recorded available I'm confident they'll be happy to assist. Going through the receipts I do have was a walk down memory lane. My...

I've heard some good reasons on why I should at least make an inquiry. I recall from past experience that Gore wants the original purchase receipt to log a case. I looked and I'm actually surprised that I can't find that receipt...so far. I've moved twice, maybe even three times since...

Eight, maybe nine years ago, I bought my Klim Badlands. They have been through a lot and have been my trusty protection for 12,000 to 20,000 miles of riding each year. They have always been perfect at keeping me dry. Well, until last year when I thought to myself, 'If I didn't know better...

Thanks for the video, nice job. Mt Washington is one of my favorite motorcycle roads. Often when riding down it Dirt_Mom will ask me if I want to turn around and go back up. Yep! Most of the time she'll go to the bottom and patiently wait as I go up and down a few more times. 1st time ever...

That instantly made me think of the first gen FJR I owned for a couple of weeks.

Tempting, but this model is glued to a mirror.

Best thing about the 50th Anniversary Wing is the little plastic toy model that comes with it. Kinda cool. I do like the black exhaust vs my chrome ones. But neither the plastic toy, nor the blacked out pipes inspire me to update my GW. Too bad. Seems like the 50th Anniversary would have...

It's an acquired taste. Once you get it, it just looks like the manifestation of performance. Before you get it, it does look weird.
