She said I could
 

Woohoo! the wife just gave me permission to buy a KLR. Just gotta spend some time time on craigslist when I get an internet connection in my new house.

So in the mean time, if anyone stumbles across a klr for 2500 or less with hard bags and the doohikey upgrade let me know. I would prefer one made after 2003. They are out there, I have seen a few for sale like that but havnt had the ability to buy it. A large gas tank would be cool too. And I dont mind going up and down the east coast, NC to CT

Lucky...

I'm not getting rid of the CBR or the CB either!

cooooool! always wanted one of those :lol: ill keep an eye out

What's the plan for it? Doing touring?

Guys, thanks, but trip helped me find one in upstate ny. Im gonna get it this afternooon, 5 hours left of driving till I get there

"upstate?"

How you getting to Watertown? 81?

Yep, on 81 justabove hburg

Crap. When you coming back through? You're going to pass through Syracuse less than 45 minutes from me.

Im not, gonna head east and stay in albany for the weekend, getting there this afternoon via the ny thruway east spur. Then down thru nj

Damn, 90 you'll pass right through my area. The Vernon/Verona exit (33) is 15 minutes from here.

Send me a pm with your number and ill give you a call d when i get ther bike and leave

someone explain the doohickey upgrade please? I am interested in a KLR and the local dealer has a leftover 09...

Will do. Watch out: NYS Troopers are all over 81 and 90 and they're pulling people over for EVERYTHING

Dohicky is the cam chain tightener that kawi designed bad and will cause the engine to explode.

So after 4 hours of driving my wife finally asked how far away we need to go, still got 4 hours left :)

Are you near 90 by albany? We head up the taconic to 90 on our mass/vt trip and then head east a bit into mass.

I'm just under 2 hours from Albany.

Oh ok, it sounded like you were kinda close there.

Jeez man, must be one helluva deal to drive 8 hours to get it. Screw that. If its more than an hour or 2, its too damn far. :lol:

Drove over 6 hrs to vt to buy my aprilia.

Almost exactly between Utica and Syracuse.

Drove 4.5 hours one way to buy my fiddy

Did ya drive 4.5 hrs the other way too :lol:

Its a better deal than I could have gotten anywhere else in the northeast, plus it has all the accessories I would have put on it except the x tr a large gas tank, prolly saved me 1500

Not immediately, it was in whiskey country in kentucky.

had to sample some of the local stuff :)

Wait, wasnt that part of our trip to Indy? If so, I dont think that counts.

:lol:

He's not kidding. That thing is freakin' gorgeous.

Well farkled too!

Good luck with it man and nice meeting you and the family.

Pics?
