I'm glad that you finally had surgery. I hope things improve greatly for you. After I wore the figure 8 brace for 12 weeks, the doctor told me on the 13th that my collarbone was healed enough to take off the brace. It's crooked and my shoulder is quite a bit lower than it should be. My hand...

I broke my collarbone Easter Sunday. Wore the figure 8 brace 12 weeks. I bought the FJ to be my long ride bike. I'm not going to get to go on any long rides this year, so I thought I would sell it. I will then probably put my name on the list for an '07 or wait for an '08. Next year's...

Went to the doctor yesterday. I don't have to wear the figure 8 brace anymore. Now I have to go in for a neurology consultation and EMG. My right hand has a neverending tingle. My clavicle was broken in two places when my XR threw me. So instead of healing with the typical one stair-step...

Sport Touring: smaller bike: Honda VFR800

Because my collarbone and ribs are not cooperating, I have decided to sell my '06. I have started it occassionally and have run it thru the gears twice. The tripmeter shows .4 miles. I go to the bone doctor the 13th. I think the collarbone has healed but I still have a tingle in my right...

I injured my tailbone several years ago while horseback riding. It was pushed in and to one side. Any type of soft cushion put pressure on it and caused pain. I sat on hard or firm surfaces. I couldn't ride my Harley with the solo seat for a year. Dirt bikes I could manage. For the next...

I sold my KLR650 this spring, and bought a DL650 V-Strom. I rode the KLR to Deadhorse, Alaska, in 2002. The DL would have been more comfortable than the KLR for most of the trip. But there was no DL650 in 2002. For the DL I am planning a Newfoundland ride. The trip will probably be in a...

P.S.S. We stayed at North Woods Lodge on the west side of Fairbanks. Owner is motorcycle friendly. It has a hostel sleeping loof, tent sites, and cabins. I stayed in the Tool Shed. It is close to the lodge. It had a twin bed and was cheaper than a cabin. Hostel is popular with foreign...

P.S. To answer some of your questions. 6 days from Calgary to Fairbanks. I was with a group of seven Vulcans, one chase vechicle with trailer, and two teenagers riding shot gun. We did sit down breakfasts, lunches and dinners. We rode in the rain some everyday but the last day. It was...

I rode my KLR to Deadhorse, AK. in 2002. Total round trip miles from NE Oklahoma was 10,000. The main roads and the Alcan are paved. It's the numberous construction zones that are a pain. Workers could be putting in the large rock, small rock, gravel, dirt, chat, or watering in the dirt...

In Tulsa: $12,000 OTD Tag and taxes are paid when you buy the tag in Oklahoma. I haven't gotten the tag. I haven't even ridden the bike yet. Waiting on the collarbone to heal. Tuesday the doctor said, "Five more weeks." :o Then he'll saw off the peak I have developed. I figure that...

A check from me will be in the mail soon. Harvey

I don't want to hi-jack the thread, but I have done the ride. Because everyone of the local riders that planned to go to Alaska came up with reasons not to go, I posted my ride plans on a KLR forum. I was put in touch with VROC (Vulcan Owners Riders Club). They were having a meeting in...

Thanks for the offer ScooterG, but the first miles will be put on by me. The odometer reads 0.0 and will stay that way until I am able to change it. The blue color is just beautiful. Pictures do not do it justice.

I rode to Prudhoe Bay from Oklahoma on my KLR650 a few years ago. That was in late June/early July. It rained a little to a lot every day from Calgary to Fairbanks. The weather was cool. The heat wave had come in May that year in Alaska. I suppose you have already done your homework and...

But I can't ride it. :( My XR400R threw me on the ground Easter Sunday and broke my collarbone. A friend volunteered to do the hauling. The trip cost me gas money and a lunch. If you like Chinese food, A Taste of China in Tulsa has an excellent buffet. The bike is now under cover in the...

Okie, Lucy from K&N should be calling soon. But it will be awhile before I am able to ride. I wrecked my XR400 Sunday and now I have a broken collar-bone. I guess friends will haul the "New Blue" home for me. Harvey :dribble:

Me, too. I had a call on my answer machine from the dealer. Bike is at warehouse. I called back and Lucy said it may even be on the way. Could arrive in Tulsa on Friday but probly Tuesday. I ordered 12-3-05. Happy Days are Here Again.

Hey, I'm waiting for my April delivery at K&N, too. Does that make four '06s for a ride? I live at Locust Grove. The Ozark Plateau start here.

My chiropractor did wonders for helping my right hand numbness when riding.
