Motherfu**ers. If they'll steal your bike, rough looks are no defense. I
am hoping you're right, and we may see it riding around the city.
ANYONE in NYC, carry a lock and chain with you. If you see the bike,
lock it up if you can and retreat somewhere safe to call the cops.

BTW, Tumu's bike had a seriously compromised subframe- cracked
crossbracing, a completely stripped upper bolt, etc.. If the thief is
heavy, or rides it hard it will spring fuel leaks in 2-3 places and the
subframe might fail completely (upgrade kit was next on Tumu's list I
think). Keep an eye out for it near riding areas.

This sucks. I'd love to see a KLR in the rally, so how about this for
a plan?
1. Listers in Washington/Oregon keep an eye out for a good used KLR
for da Bum. Frosty, is your bike still available?
2. Everyone on the List pitches in a couple bucks to help sponsor the
purchase. If everyone gave just 2 bucks, he'd have a pretty nice
scoot and some money left over for upgrades.
3. Anyone with parts to donate or sell cheap that might help in the
rally, post them.
4. Bum travels to the West to meet his bike and does an intensive
prep with the help of local Listers.
5. Bum realizes dream, kicks Beemer butt, thanks the List in his
trophy acceptance speech.
6. We all feel good about riding a KLR and helping a Lister in need.
Tumu, where do I send the check? What parts do you need?
Plan B: We all go to NYC, find the perp and buy him some cement
overshoes.

These are all good ideas. I'm in on any of them, whatever Tumu decides
to do. And the bags of concrete are my treat, along with a free swimming
lesson in the East River at 3:00am.

Good idea! I'll pitch in some cash. And I'll keep a look out for it in the
city. Who knows somebody could just be riding it around. Maybe there is some
sort of KLR chop shop in the city that could be infiltrated and busted up.
Or do all the cycle messengers get their parts from the dealer?

Yeah...helping out a racer who's down on his luck is a much better
cause than subsidizing some broad-dame-Sheila's 2 year long vacation.

Better yet, save the chain for the guy that's riding it now. I've
heard that a swinging chain can hurt a bit. Then forget the number
to 911 until some cop just happens to walk by. Then you can ask him.

One nice thing, there aren't a bunch of "x" models running around.
Should be easy to spot, even in a city the size of NY

Tank has a spot of white JB Waterweld on the front right near the
mounting point for the absent shroud. Also has some brownish
quicksteel on the tank near the left side mounting hole of tank
(under seat). Another brownish quicksteel area on engine sidecase
behind shifter. Rear fender has been trimmed to a sexy taper, no sub-
fender.

That Really blows goats Tumu. Maybe it'll turn out for the best
though....who knows?
Sounds like Arden's got a great idea, & I'm up for sponsoring what I can.
You may just end up going from privateer, to KLR Lista sponsored rider...on a
newer bike. Just a little bit from everyone will get it done.
Maybe Bierdo could even print up a "Team KLR Lista" sticker (available to
all) for the event.
Lets see the collective flex its muscle with our first sponsored rider, in a
rally event!

And I'm not ashamed to say it.
Tumu, I just bought another KLX front end, so if your X never turns up
and you end up with another bike, I'd be willing to do another graft if
you're set on an X. This time I've got a garage at least.
