1.) Can smell petrol when I open the tank to fill it
2.) Causes excessive daydreaming about riding, resulting in no work being done
3.) Way too much fun; it can't be legal to have that much fun.

If I twist the throttle I move forward. The more I do that the faster I go

Think Robin Brown had a problem with his last one. He just bought another.

Something wrong with yours , when I open the throttle it goes forward and up , the more I open the throttle the higher it goes

My DR ry soos 'n motord. Daar MOET iets fout wees met hom!

My DR maak dat ek nog wil he. En nog! En nog! Hoe kry mens hierdie begeerte om 'n stoorkamer vol DR's te he uit mens se sisteem?

I have one which has done over 130,000km and it does not use oil yet. Should I worry? Every KLR uses oil from new

So far we have figured that it's not fair that we have DR's,,,
