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! Michael http://michael-byrne.home.mchsi.com/

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. Kelley.......... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
