    Thanks for the support guys.

    It went to a young Canadian guy who has ridden a fair bit on KLRs, so its in good hands, and it should see a fair bit of action while he is here.
    I mentioned vegetables once, but I think I got away with it...........

    I had the KLR for eight years and only drowned it the one time, albeit well publicised, but I have drowned the BMW twice in the first year of ownership.

    How is the fence riding going?

    He's just about got the mounting sorted, but once he's up there he struggles with balance. Also it would go better if he stayed with the bike.
    IT'S JUST BETTER WHEN THERE'S TWINS INVOLVED..

    Fence riding is far more spectacular than muddy puddle depth testing where your bike simply becomes less visable.

    Sorry for your loss Woodman, not wanting to rub it in but still keeping the Faith, if you come back, get a 2014.5 2015 onward, some good improvement to give the model a new lease of life
