Just curious...is anybody out there making a job out of riding a
KLR??? I might be making a career change soon & the thought occured to
me "how great would it be to make a living in some way by riding a
KLR".I had ideas about pizza delivery with an extended rack. Or maybe
a courier svc. maybe rural route mail delivery.Process server
(delivering subpoenas)or parts delivery for some auto repair
garages.Any other suggestions appreciated....

Well not totally, but my trip this summer on the KLR was written off as
a business trip. I was taking photos after all.
Wrote off the Happy Trails panniers too since they functioned as camera
cases.

Almost any business you want to involve yourself in can use a KLR as
transportation. I do part-time computer work for local businesses in
the area, and usually ride my KLR to get around. This makes the
mileage tax-deductible! So, I'm getting paid by the IRS to ride my KLR!

I don't make a living riding a KLR, but I do make
a living riding a Honda ST1300. The KLR's are
the bikes I ride for recreation.
