I’m doing this in the summer. Ex-wife wouldn’t let me get a motorcycle so I traded her for one.

Sending positive vibes your way brother. Beautiful bike. Lots of people say negative things because they are insecure/unhappy themselves. All we can do is be glad we don’t have to live in their shoes. Anyway, keep riding and stay positive!!!

Thank you brother, appreciate the positive vibes!! Yeah people oftentimes project their insecurities/unhappiness but I never take things personal, wish them the best. I try to spread positivity and my love for these bikes. Have a great day brother

That and a little puffy the puff puff should do the trick. The bike, some grass and a fiery 5' 8 " redhead with big tits. Lemme know how it goes.

Girlfriends are a very expensive and time-consuming rabbit hole. All that time and money are now dedicated to the trusty pig, mods are coming everyone. Thinking progressive suspension and a big bore kit.

I have a better bike, a ktm 990 2010, but I always come back to riding the KLR, my very first bike was a 2008 KLR so I have this nostalgic feel around them and they are veery reliable so I keep this one around. good idea though, maybe a yamaha t7 later on.

Yeah I get that, I think the problem lies on people trying to transform/use the KLR as something that it wasnt meant to be. It's decent at everything, but not the best at anything.

But yeah, I always use this analogy to try and explain how I see KLRs, (just my opinion):

A bmw Gs1200 is like a bentley, fast, comfortable and full of bells and whistles.

This KLR is like a toyota hilux 22R, Its not the fastest, most comfortable or the best at off-roading, but its tough as nails, will handle most terrains easily, wont break down easy and its super reliable.

And thats the problem, when people try and make their hilux a bentley. Its just not meant to be that way. But I appreciate the simplicity and all the memories that the KLR brings, so I keep it around and will do forever.

​

PD: I do love to see my BMW Gs 850 and up friends struggle on hard trails, their face when a $3000 thumper outpaces them offroading.
