there are *some* decent dealers out there nklr

[dan shaw]

i actually have a good dealer report. while riding from boston to seattle back in may i noticed my clutch cable was about to snap. it was frayed and had maybe 4 or 5 strands left. i stopped at a dealer in western pa and they didnt have a clutch cable in stock, yet they did have a new klr on the floor and they took the cable off that bike and sold it to me. they were also very friendly, and apreciated my business. unfortunatly i dont remeber what town this was in or the name of the store..sorry... dan --- Rich Kickbush wrote:
