Marks, Are people born with tossers syndrome or can it be caught?, and is it curable, cureable, can you get better?

As opposed to narcolepsy which seems to affect KLR's more than other bikes...

Some people are born with the inclination to "Tossers Syndrome" but it often doesn't become fully blown until they buy their first DR650.

It can be cured - with a fairly high success rate - provided the sufferer buys a KLR. The results of this are certainly clear as I've never met a Tosser who rides a KLR - clearly a completely opposite result to those who ride DR650's

To be specific - DR riders have a variation of Tossers Syndrome called low level TS. Often the syndrome progresses when they sell the DR and buy a KTM - and then develop the full blown version of High Level Tossers Syndrome - a variation of HLTS often affects gay people who feel compelled to buy BMW's.

so the only way to make sure you are not a Tosser is to buy a KLR
