klr's never off road

Post by kd5tvf » Mon Jul 14, 2003 3:52 pm

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. RM
