What is the expected life of the K1 mount?

I went out for a ride today.

It's pleasant after dawn.

I looked down halfway to the park,

Guess what I saw was gone?

I knew I should just watch the road,

While dodging auto's fenders,

Instead of watching tethered toys

Twirl like The Great Wallenda.

I really shouldn't feel too bad, I got two years out of it,

But instead I sort of felt that I should tell those guys to shove it.

I'm thankful that I tied it down, so mostly it's just hassle,

But what's the life of Karoo mounts?

Thank God, that tether's more than tassel.

So for four and a half Benjamins, I'm expecting something better

It's not that I've not grief enough and followed to the letter

instructions wise and rumored tricks to keep the durn thing mounted

Is there a way to keep it safe among the things I've counted?

It's really quite unnerving when the mounting takes it's oops,

Or maybe there's a team at work who's moto is just "Oops"

So five years out, the Karoo1 still does not like being held,

and maybe the unboxing should include some JBWeld?

I'll have to go back and retrieve that blog vid of mount testing

And see if there's something I missed to help the thing in nesting.

I somehow had the impression that the K1 mount was from Barfly.

I'm not sure where I got that from, and it may have been from someone using Barfly as a term like Klenex or Xerox for moulded out front mounts. HH appears to be the only source for the inserts, which they have currently.
