who would steal a klr??? a blessing in disguise, cash out and put you time and money into a DR. If I see your bike, I'll tell the thief to keep heading south and that you are now better off...

...Yeah, all joking aside though, I really loved that bike.

The thing that kills me most about this is I just got done doing a couple upgrades to the motor. A couple months ago I tore it apart and installed a 688 "big bore" kit, stage II head (port/polish, oversized stainless valves, etc.), and Keihin FCR-MX39 flat slide pumper carb. I bought a Innovate Motorsports LM-2 O2 meter/logger and the just about had the cab dialed in. The bike SCREAMED! Anyways, the depressing part is I didn't even have 30 miles on the motor; it wasn't even broken in yet!

Oh, and to add insult to injury........insurance called me back last night and said that the mods to the bike were not "fully indorsed" and they can only give me $500 max towards any upgrades I had done.

So, I don't know what I am going to do now. I'm thinking I might end up getting only about $3500 when all of this is over. I'm keeping my eyes open for a descent deal on either a DR650, or maybe another KLR since I have the knowledge and experience of working on them. To tell you the truth though, I just want my bike back.

Oh well, such is life. Karma will eventually kick these guys in the sack, I'm sure of that. Eh, and who knows, this might actually be a blessing and I end up with something much better!

Well... Not that I am looking forward to offloading my DR soon - gotta pay off my truck yet, but I was cut an AWESOME deal by a member here on it (MudPig). Maybe I can pay it forward and git you a good deal on it. Would come with a supermoto kit as well - give the cops some time to find yers, if all else fails maybe we can work something out.

tr1200 · 11-21-2012, 11:21 AM

Lookin' out for a KLR. Never give up. It took me 6 months to hunt down my stolen XR (no insurance). In the end, the "official" justice system did not have to get involved and the perp had to move off the mountain. Good luck.

I'll send pix this week. The DR is great I am going to have a hard time letting it go to be honest. Great for what I use it fer really. Its got roughly 18000 miles on it now and a lot of little farkles on it. Nothing fancy - just the small things that matter.

Layne - dont worry I will git another long range bike, prolly a 950/990 already got clearance from the Mrs. As long as I can pay off the truck in spring.

JPaccassi · 11-25-2012, 06:42 PM

LA B 2 V was slightly eventful for me this year.....only made it 3 hours into the ride before I crashed.

I'm not sure exactly what happened but I high sided & then my bike landed on my foot.

That was in cal city where the closest hospitals or medical facilities were Ridgecrest or Tehachapi....I opted for Barstow where I had a room for the night & could get help from the D-37 people.

Got to Barstow & got a ride to the urgent care & then the imaging place, had my results back before 5...fractured 3rd metatarsal, but no breaks

.....had my brother drive to Barstow Friday night then left home sat morning....I have now officially joined the injured list.....but not for too long I hope
