After a 6 year off the motorcycle due to a vertigo problem from being involved in a hit and run and left in the ditch for dead, I bought a '92 KLR and started back riding again. That was at the tender age of 49. After 3 years and 34,000 miles I sold it and bought a BMW. Went though various bikes to stable with the R11GS till I bought an '00 KLR in '99. It stayed a stable mate along with a few DR350se, a DRZ400se, R11RA , R1150GS, DL1000 and Bandit 1250S. Sold the KLR in '09 and bought a DR650. Really never like the way the DR650 worked for me. Bought it back last year and went though it for my 68th birthday present to me. Celebrated my 69th birthday with 4000+ miles rolling on the old ometer for the last year on it. Doubt if we're gonna part again.

I bought mine 11 years ago; still have it. I'm 64. The progression from sport tourers to dual sport bikes is natural, once you have ridden all the pavement. The riding position works better, too. My little Italian bikes with clip-ons are out of the question.

Just a couple weeks ago, I noticed this youngish blond checking out my KLR as I parked in front of a bar. She maintained eye contact as I walked past her, and asked what kind of bike it was. When I came back out with my beer, she was full of questions. Turns out she was a new rider with a B-last, and had already figured out it wasn't quite right for her

I had one fairly young lady in Colorado just fall in love with my KLR saying her Daddy raised her on dirt type bikes. Another 5ft. 10 strawberry blond plopped down on the seat of my KLR saying she liked my bike completely ignoring my buddies $15,000 Harley once when me and some bro's got together at an outdoor drinking establishment. 3's my limit on a street bike. > > A sport bike rider lost his life this week doing a wheelie in the parking lot of a local Twin Peaks restaurant I frequent. He hit a parked car, helmet on but not buckled. Broken neck from what I have heard with serious head injuries. He had no insurance and left a wife and daughter. > > Criswell > > Sent from my iPad > > On Jun 12, 2012, at 1:53 PM, Jeff Khoury wrote: > > > The average age of a KLR rider according to most surveys are in their 40s and 50s. > > > > I'm 42 and I commute daily on mine as I have for the last several years. With a few standard and cheap mods I think it will work for you just fine, but I'm biased because I love my KLR. I have another bike for going fast or doing long hauls of superslab but the KLR has a special place in my heart and in my driveway. > > > > It's the one bike that I can jump on that will do absolutely anything I set out to do. It may not be the best there is for any of those tasks, but it will accomplish the job. Commuting, touring, trailing, getting groceries... you name it - and that's why I love it. If you go out and jump on the KLR, you're never on the "wrong bike for the job." That is... unless you're out to pick up girls. It's like a Boston Terrier - butt ugly but likable. > > > > -Jeff Khoury > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "ed" > > To: "DSN KLR650" DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com> > > Sent: Tuesday, June 12, 2012 11:35:29 AM > > Subject: [DSN_KLR650] Any older KLR riders here > > > > I had a KLR about 10 years ago, when I was a young 47.

I was told by some one retired, an accountant, that is usualy up on money items. Medicare will NOT touch 1 penny of a motorcycle injury bill. So those that think they have Medical covered threw medicare & medicaid, may NOT have any coverage, and may want to get it threw there Motorcycle insurance co..
