Because there is so little that you can do on it that is enjoyable.....

I got it bogged on the edge of the driveway in deep gravel.
I scraped its arse on a roundabout.
when it starts -it clunks and groans
if you had a beer belly- you wouldnt see the speedo
the digital gear indicator only shows you when you are in top
neutral is just a myth!
rear brake pedal is off a truck
gets furkin hot in traffic
the side stand is in such a weird place, and hard to get at wearing boots
couldnt fit it back in the shed between the parked cars.

But when you have spent 2 hours riding it, it goes without saying that you will need a beer!

One of my favourite ever motorcycles. Piss that windscreen off and it's a 10 times nicer bike.

Just because you like oranges it doesn't mean you can't like apples. I'd have a KLR too.

Yep, would ride anything for the experience.

But parting wiht cash and owning one is another story.

Road King is about how it makes me feel. King of the Road baby.
Next time I have a windfall gig I'm buying a 2nd hand KLR or DR.
