The KLR Arrives

I received this bike without ever test riding, or even sitting on any bike in the purchase process. I just had faith that this was the right type of bike for me. My friend Paul works for a company with a box truck with a lift on the back, otherwise I would have had to ride it home from the shippers. The bike seemed huge and unwieldy and I really started to doubt the whole thing. I did not have a motorcycle endorsement for my license at this point, not even the learners permit. It would take me about a month from first receiving the bike to when I had my license and could ride it.
