Why - whats wrong with a KLR Padmei?

[Woodman]

Once upon a time in a land far far away.....

The company (Square Moves) had contracts with all the London hospitals and labs. We had twice daily blood runs from hospitals all over London to pick up blood, and samples of other things, and take them to the labs. Then pick up the results of the previous runs tests from the lab and take them back to the hospitals.

We're talking 8 or 10 hospitals here though.

mate those motorbike couriers in London are fricken nutters. They all seem to ride big bikes too and there are thousands (hundreds) ((lots)) of them.

Nothing wrong with KLRs Bubbs however I can't see a DR rider ever going to a KLR for reasons I don't know.

Mad fookers. My bro inlaw works in the guts of London, and rides his 1200gs beemer most days. Probably not quite what it was designed for.

yeah but I bet if he had a "f*ck the world" moment he could just take the next exit and piss off across Europe without a second thought. I'd even ride with my passport in my back pocket jsut to know I could if I wanted..

Yeah , but the time you rented the bike at the end of the day you were borderline for money!
