Rallying on a KLR

[rodneyw71]

Wondering if anybody's ridden a klr in a multi day rally, have a few questions.

Earl Damron rode one in the 2011 Iron Butt Rally. I did his technical inspection....the bike was sweet.

I also passed him going into the first checkpoint in New York as I was reaching apogee in my own rally in a 3 day Utah 1088. He had a really confused look on his face as his inspector he'd seen in Seattle days earlier was now in Buffalo.

And he was DNF in the final leg Day 10 or 11 I believe. I thought I remember something about a zapped chain and/or cracked case.

I don't know. He may be on LDRider.

I signed up on ldriders but don't see anybody on there and none of the posts are current, is that site still going?

I don't post there, but see about ten e-mails today alone.

Point is I gave you a name, but I really don't know how to contact him specifically. I would use Google Fu to find him.

I sent an email out on ldrider, I was reading through some of the emails, lots of good info.
