Newbie...

Just purchased a '92 650 KLR to add to the stable that includes a '75 Norton Commando (owned since '78, frame up cafe conversion about 5 years ago, second Norton - will post photos later) and a 2001 Triumph Daytona that Is my daily driver. Really interested in learning more about this dual sport thing and participating in some group rides in the hill country. Now going through a basic review of the bike health and re-paint (cannot deal with the bright blue 80's paint thing -going for black).

I would like to connect with a member knowledgeable about KLR's to help decide on next steps.

Thanks.

WELCOME to the best two wheeled site on the web. Pleanty of us KLR drivers here, as well as numerous fans of old British iron. Lots of happenings with the folks in the Central Texas area and some great riding to get yourself acquainted with the Kaw.

Welcome to the site!

If you have KLR questions, just post them up in the General forum of the Dual Sport section of the site. You will probably get more advice and suggestions than you ever expected... Some of it even really good
