Tools?
Do any of the other KLR riders in this area have a set of doohicky tools I could use to change the part on my '08? It seems a shame to buy a set of tools I'll only use once (hopefully!), and I found...

Dealer closed
Yesterday I went over to Duluth Lawn & Sport to check on a part for my KLR engine rebuild project. It was my first time over there this year, and it turns out they've dropped both their Kawasaki and...

Yes, they payed for new gear (my helmet was the only thing not damaged, strangely enough), backpack, plastics, tire, and a bit extra on top of it all. The police report left no doubt as to who was at...

KLR drives away
Last summer was the first year I had a bike, and when I had my first accident. I was commuting to work on my KLR during morning 'rush hour' in Superior/Duluth. It's not too bad here in northern WI...
