HE VENTURE IN ADVENTURE
Despite our best intentions,
we always find the "A"
word. Like weak marketing word-
play and youth outdoor program
mantras, we can't seem to avoid
the cliché one-word depiction of
what happens to us in Idaho on
motorcycles.
This was supposed to be a
simple two-day ride on a cool
bike to showcase its versatility,
performance and sheer cool
factor. It turned into, like a lot of
my experiences with Klim-types,
a dark, hungry and enjoyable
you-know-what.
This quest began months ago
when I first saw Klim's latest proj-
ect bike show up on my radar.
They have a knack for building
eye-catching and sometimes-
ridiculous powersports toys with
cool names (check out the Klim
Monster 2.0—a big-bore 500cc
two-stroke, electric start snow-
bike built on a KTM frame—for a
perfect example).
