The Klunker Challenge Episode 3: The Ride Of Champions - Stock State Klunkers on Jem Trail

This is Phase 1 of the 2021 State Klunker Challenge. For this challenge, we invited everyone to buy a bone-stock State Klunker and join us for a ride with everyone on the same exact bike. This turned out to be even more fun than imagined. Here's how it all went down.

For those interested in joining the party, here are the rules for phases 2-4.:

- You must use a bike that came with a coaster brake from the factory
- It doesn't matter how much it cost
- You have an unlimited budget to upgrade it, including removing the coaster brake. Modifications encouraged (but no motors please)
- We'll be holding a beauty contest where people send in pics of their klunkers. so make it pretty.
- We'll be having one last ride in Moab, UT on Oct 9, 2021. Please message me on instagram or in the comments below if you're hoping to join the ride in October so I have an idea of how many people are coming.
