trip report from prudhoe bay, ak

[crowson61]

Well I just picked up a new Ulysses and the wife says the KLR needs to go. The bike has 760 miles on it and has never been dropped it's in showroom condition. I have done some mods and the bike runs strong and is beautiful. I also have a 2 year extended warranty wich covers the bike through December 31st 2009! I changed the oil and filter at 100, 300, 500, and 700. This bike is better then new, avoid the taxes dealer fees and break in just hop on and ride. I am asking $4,750 OBO. if you are interested email me at crowdog61@... I will give you my phone# and I can tell you what mods I have done. I will deliver up to 100 miles. Thanks, Jeff

CW says the wife should go before the KLR. Second choice: ditch the Useless.
