Another Welly ADV DVD / talk crap and bag KLR's night?

[Padmei]

I can recomend EddieB's room

Take a look at how well hung he is too

Owwwwoooo thats just nasty Jatz

[Woodman]

I can't see in what situation an airhead would be superior to a sensibly modified new style KLR

Hoi, I thought we were on the same side. Whats with this NEW STYLE KLR stuff

Are you trying to split the ranks, divide and conquer and all that??
You better start backtracking real fast or I'll, I'll um, err Post something nasty

[Eddieb]

that said - unless I was doing two up or carrying shit loads of luggage - I can't see in what situation an airhead would be superior to a sensibly modified new style KLR

So you're saying you'd need to modify the KLR before it would be superior to an airhead. Nice to hear it directly from a KLR owner.

[BMWST?]

well said sir



actually its a bit of a stretch to call your beemer 'bavarians finest'

that said - unless I was doing two up or carrying shit loads of luggage - I can't see in what situation an airhead would be superior to a sensibly modified new style KLR

the airhead is a much nicer on road bike IMHO...and i bought mine for less than all but two KLRs on trademe at the moment.

And airheads are just perfect out of the box, right?

Some of us are secure enough that we don't require eurotrash penis substitutes.

I like big tanks & I cannot lie....
Perhaps given some proper guidance & riding tuition you too can aspire to own & ride a proper bike, & won't need to have that sort of envy.

They're pretty good, but like KLRs, they can be improved on.

Talk to me when your KLR is nearly 20 yrs old & has done over 200k kms.... Eddie's has done circa 120k kms. Not sure on Schmidtty, but given the owner, he's the exception to every rule....

Marks KLR has done what? He's already got a big bore & is talking about another? How's that oil consumption working out for you KLR riders right now?
(Marks KLR is a nice bike to ride BTW)

I won't swap my bike, & I'm hoping you are happy with your choice
(even if you are strangely misguided IMHO).

[Padmei]

In my opinion the only bike perfect straight out of the box are KTMs. Power, fantastic suspension, excellent handling, cutting edge technology, liteweight, race winning pedigree, very cool, very popular, very now

[Eddieb]

My first R80G/S had about 350,000 on it when i sold it.

But anyway, settle down girls or this thread will get consigned to the basement like others have.

One vote only so far and that's for Wednesday night.

Started riding about 42 years ago so just about got the hang of it. That includes about 16 years of speedway solos.
Perfectly happy with the KLR, warts and all. My regular riding group has (for adv type rides) two KTMs, one BMW, two DRs (one soon to be replaced with another KTM) and one Honda. On group rides my KLR taken me has everywhere the other bikes have.

I've never encountered a group of KLR riders, either in life or on the 'net, who feel the need to bag other brands, but unfortunately the reverse is not true.
