Default The KLX is Dead

Here are some pictures of my KLX that had a sad ending last week in my garage fire last week. I only just dug it out today for the insurance to take it away. As you can see it didn't fair too well in the heat. It was sad to see it go as it was a fine off road tool. It also lost it's brothers in the fire a , RGV250, Aprilia RS250. Max Biaggi Aerox Mallossi 125cc ped, and the ZXR750 H1 project. Oh and my mr2 turbo.

May this be a reminder too all of us how dangerous a fire can be, all this was lost in the space of 10 mins and never to be replaced, apart from the KLX, the new one will be here in March .

Wow, that's a shame. I hope no one was hurt. What happened? You may not want to answer due to insurance reasons, but that's a scary site I would like to prevent from happening in my garage.

Sorry to hear this.

Cool, interesting vehicles.



A pic of the turbo if you're up to it? (before)

ZXR750, eh?...cool. However, they should never have used the "H1" label. There was only one "H" series, and it went ring-a-ding-ding.

Very sorry to hear about the fire. It's sad to see good bikes go down like that. Glad no one was injured.

I much prefer the sound of a 2-stroke. I'll take a pic of the Turbo and maybe the others when I can dig hem out, although I'm not really wanting to take any pic's to remember any of this.
