Saw a Pitster Pro XTR200 at work today!

Cruising by one of the parking lots at work today I saw a Pitster Pro XTR200 parked beside a sportbike, then I saw it leaving at the end of shift... I wonder if it's forum member Motomaster??

XTR seems to be here at work pretty regularly now... On a side note, there was an albertadualsport.ca sticker tucked between my throttle cables on my klr. Nice sticker, think I'll put it on my panniers . Wish I knew who to thank but I have no idea who put it there

I bet if you shout out on albertadualsport.ca, you'll find out. Might be an opportunity to find a riding buddy.

Lol, I did just that!

I've been a member on that forum since 2010 but had never posted. I started a thank you thread for the sticker and one of the members described my KLR and location so I think I found the generous soul!

Funny how something as simple as a sticker can make your day

Yup, he does, though in a different part of the plant. He pm'd me and was saying that he knows of 3 or 4 other KLR riders and is setting up a group ride in a couple of weeks... Sounds like fun!

Edit: Oh, forgot to mention, I pm'd Motomaster just to see if that was his XTR at work, no reply yet though. I'm not sure how often he checks in

That's cool! It would be great to connect with other KiLleR riders.

Yep that was me! Sorry haven't been on here in a while. And I bet I know who that other KLR rider is... I used to work on the other side of the plant a few years back. Small world!

Lol, how cool it's that? You don't see many of those around so I had a sneaking suspicion it was yours .

I ride the blue klr and vintage wing at 521

Thanks for posting the nice thread, Stew. It's gratifying when someone does something friendly.

That is pretty cool! I've seen a KLR in 721 parking lot, was that yours? I thought it was red in colour, but it could have been blue...

Nope, the red one belongs to a Dow guy I think? I park mine over at the 521 building just west of 721. I haven't been riding for the past couple of weeks due to a nasty chest infection. Lol, plus, I'm taking my son to Disneyland in a week and I seem to have this weird talent for laying myself up just before holidays, so I'm taking the truck to be safe
