Everything l have heard or read about a KLR is positive.That one is on the short list
Ended up with a good 2011 Suzuki DL650 with 3700 miles.Has a bunch of extras that came with it.Set of Givi luggage,a/m windshield,heated grips,crash bars (no doubt those will come in handy),garmin gps,and 1" lowering links.My short legs are happy about them.Still needs a skid plate.The oil filter and cooler is exposed on the front bottom of the engine.Looks like a great place for an issue.
Been talking some loops around the area on my own.Getting to know the bike and my abilities.Which at this point are ok,but l just need seat time to work it all out.Went with a few guys on Labor Day on a "short ride" which lasted about 6 hours (5 hrs ride time) up into Whitetop,Virginia.The "land of a 1000 turns" along with going up and down mountains.Hornedogg knows where we went.Great ride and beautiful scenery.We didn't spend much time on any 4 lane road or interstate.Best way to see the area.

You’ll have a blast with that bike. Wear a little backpack with a hydro pack inside for the long rides. Pack some granola bars. If your in a lot of dirt trails, ride with 12-15 psi in both tires. On the road around 20-22. Makes a huge difference with tire pressure especially in the dirt. I’ll pack my small tire gauge with me to lower down n hopefully theirs a place where I can fill back up or I just deal with the low pressure going back. There’s small bike pumps that will fit into a bag also. Laminate your insurance n registration card too. Just in case you get wet. Monkey butt powder too. Lol.
Good ride today except l should have come back home about 30 min earlier.Got within 3 miles from my house and got hammered with a rainstorm.Spent about 10 min under an overpass waiting for the storm to go by.Texted my wife to open the garage door so l could slip right in.Still a good day overall
Long boring story,but gonna sell the Vstrom.My mrs. hasn't been happy about it since the day l brought it home.The whole ask for permission/beg for forgiveness didn't work this time.
So it's For Sale or trade for a ski of equal value.

You made a good choice to sell it. I've had my MC license for 15 years and I can tell you, its ridiculous out there with all the smart-phone texters from the past 5 years. Its gotten so dangerous out there for all drivers and especially mcs. I sold my last street bike Ducati 2 years ago. I still have a few bikes but my only streetable one at this point is a Honda CRF250x thats legally street capable, but is 100% a dirt bike.
