and almost new EBC rotor up front. No sidecovers or tank shrouds. 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.

back wheel of KLR to the rotor of the KTM. They hacked the rotor, pulled the chain through the wheel, and took off with my mutant. The only glimmer of hope is that they didn't take the KTM, so it's possible they wanted something to ride, not something to chop. And that they are idiots. If anyone sees this bike, please notify me immediately.

not being able to afford a new one until probably Winter, or pulling out of the race and being able to buy a bike to ride. I'm on the fence, so your comments and suggestions are welcome. (The KTM is not an option due to vibration, and tank capacity and the fact that a new rear rotor will probably be back-ordered anyway).

If don't want to scratch the plastic, never wipe the lens when it is dirty. Rinse with water then lightly dry with a clean cloth. Sometimes I'll wipe a dirty shield with a wet cloth... but only once, very lightly to remove the dust. Somewhat serious this time, West
