That shit sucks, but what is even worse is Senor Frogs brand.

It tasted like a bad dirty martini. No Joke.

First of many.

Its all good. Ive dropped mine twice already, in the dirt.  Also almost high sided myself to the moon but saved it. Damn things a hoot.

Dropping in the dirt does not equal a jackass dropping in a parking lot after getting a pack of smokes.

I was backing it up, while seated, lost my footing on the ground, and down we went.

At least I know it is easy to pick up

Congrats on the bike Cyrus. KLRs are cool.

Good to hear the parking lot drop wasn't anything serious. Those KLRs are tough as nails.

hahaha

just waiting for the crash bars to arrive in the mail. Figured to put those on if the wife drops it as a new rider, it just goes with the territory.

but damn......I dropped it first

Thanks.

I need to stop riding this bike. I am starting to fall in love with it and it isn't mine.

just wait until you take it in the dirt and the back end slides around.

when you get up just remember that it's a dirt bike and can take some spills.
then keep grinning

Dirt biking is probably the last thing my body needs.

I've had 4 shoulder surgeries..........I am thinking a 5th one would not be a good idea.

Walmart sells new shoulders. You'll be okay.

Just got the bike back from some service.


I installed a Two Brother's Slip-on to the bike and it leaned it out wayyyy to much, so I bought a DynoJet Stage 1 Kit (only make a Stage 1 for the KLR's) and had that installed. Boy, does the bike sound and ride so much better now. Great purchase and install.

Also had them install the crash bars I bought. The directions were in German, so I figured I'd pay them an hour of labor to figure it out.

Only disappointment was the Avon Road Rider's I wanted installed didn't get done; it somehow was in the system but never made it to the work order. The Service Manager told me to call him when I want the tires swapped and it will immediately go on lift.

I'll post pics of the crash bars later; digi camera still MIA.

How is your wife doing with the riding?
