bear defense while riding in the rockies, nklr
List,
I have been enjoying the previous discussions/problems/suggestions of riding where there are bears. Further discussions off line offer several suggestions of riding your KLR where there is bears-a-plenty, and what to do to 'protect' yourself beyond bells, spray, and shooting your riding partner in the knee with a .22.
This includes the bear spray, (watch the wind direction)
typical guide guns =1895 Marlin in .45/70,
12g. Shotguns with slugs,
.44 mag pistol.
All these have some very positive features as well as some problems.
I was leaning towards the shotgun (I'm told by one of my friends living in Anchorage, Alaska, Conservation Agents use this) until, I found this video.
Wa-lah.
The search is ended.
Here in is the ultimate, KiLeRista DS, multiuse bear protection device

Rev,
Are you designing the ladder rack for the KLR to carry it?

Never been there but my Dad was a merchant marine for thirty years . He was there often due to service contracts with the bases. He liked the place. Hot ...hotter than Hawaii hot. Pretty much all the time. Humid. Rain can me measured in feet watch for snakes. Bring the KLR. My Dad rode and like to ride in the islands.
