What's with all the KLR's posted on the list that have "never been
off road"??? With this crew, I would think a person would emphasize
what had been done. Some suggestions might be "front yard safari"
or "run it off a ramp a few times" or at least "covered in dirt from
sitting in garage a few miles from an unpaved road".
It's nice to personalize your bike, but it's even better to buy one
with character! I bought mine off the list, and the seller informed
me he had dropped it once or twice... OFF ROAD.
Just my $0.02

I have a vision of buying a cherry two-year-old full-time-street KLR from
an old guy who obsesses over it.
Then meeting up with Stu and Krok, breaking plastic, bending metal, and
getting the bike very thoroughly loaded up with mud.
Lastly, we swing by the guy's house to thank him for taking such good care
of the bike.
