If a guy, let's say me for example, was interested in getting a KLR trailered down to wherever it'll be warm as part of your journey from Chicago, who would he talk to from your group? I see from the posts that you've got an Ontario rider as part of the clan. I live in Ottawa. Yeah, it's that city halfway between Montreal and Toronto. I'd be with you all for the ride in a heartbeat but I can't get away until early January. On the upside, I don't have a specified return date and hope to make my way to Costa Rica for a surprise visit on my daughter. We know how much they like that.
I'm envious. You gotta luv it when a plan comes together like it appears to be for this trip.

VStrom or KLR
Mike,
I wish I'd seen this earlier. My buddy and I rode through Mexico last winter, he on a KLR and me on my Wee Strom. Both handled the ride beautifully though I wish both of us were on Stroms. The vast majority of the roads are really good and the stroms top end speed is so much faster than the KLRs. With so many things to slow you down it would've been nice to be able to open it up on the roads which would allow it.
Let me know what you choose to take and how it went. Shayne

Hello I'm planning for such a trip except to stay a little longer. It would be good to meet up either way but if you are interested in selling the KLR please let me know..
