Ok Don....where were the wheelies?....and the jumps?....lol...I would buy a KLR but I'd probably break my neck...

Don't buy a KLR get a DRZ400 or DR650. Lighter than the KLR. UNLESS you want to do blacktop miles on a regular basis.
AND spend money on upgraded suspension fore and sft. Makes a capable bike into an inspiring bike.
Both Don and I will confirm that.
All you guys with high mileage Valks should consider ahvign your front suspension stripped and new springs, bushings etc.
A new set of rear shocks will then make the bike feel brand new again. The suspension degrades over slowly over time so that you don't notice it until you do the suspension work.
How many of you have your bike set up with the correct sag? I'll wager not many.
