A set of panniers were for sale on kijiji in the Fort Erie area a few months ago...
They were painted white with UN markings.... I remember they were $50.00! I read somewhere that the klr 250 was used in Haiti. Most military personnnal never heard of the klr250...and 99.9% have never seen it. Hard to gather infos on that particular vehicle!

My KLR250.
Picked it up yesterday in Mont-Laurier Qc. I had confirmation that it comes from Alberta. (Suffield, Wainwright?) Won't be easy to find exactly what unit it comes from.... -Eric

Engine rebuilt 2 years ago...perfect running condition. Only needs a replacement horn! (Wich I ordered last night) Also missing its original tool-kit...I'll also have to re-install the military ''crash-bar'' that goes in front of the engine. (fortunately included in the sale)
I only wish I can find some more infos (pictures) of these little bikes. I'd like to put some markings on it, but that can wait. I'm not gonna make it another MP motorcycle just because ''it looks cool''.

Well this is very kind of you Ed Storey!
I didn't expect that one today. So it was an ''infantrybike''. And located in Petawawa. I'll see if I can find any more infos on these bikes on my side and will of course share it with you. This is where Facebook has a first chance with me to prove it can do little miracles...And I just wrote an email to the RCR Museum. Who knows? Thanks a lot

The next challenge with these bikes, will be to find what markings are supposed to be painted...if any!
Probably a canadian flag somewhere? Won't be easy to collect infos on this one as most military personal have never seen them! I know the MP bikes in Valcartier had markings. But what about the other 73 bikes?

It was my distinct pleasure this week to secure the future of two ex CF motorcycles. One had popped up on the vacuous hole of Facebook market place and it was after a few discussions with the seller and him digging around that the discovery was made that he had a near whole second bike albeit in pieces minus engine.
I have a Kawasaki KLR250 and love it and ride it and my domestic harmonious living policy states that I am not to have another KLR250. I had wanted to try to get the running one into the hands of someone who would save it and cherish it and so the calls went out one by one to a list of people who had mentioned they wanted one if I should ever find one. In the vein of "the truth is stranger than fiction" none of those people were able to execute a purchase for various reasons. I was thinking I might have to buy it and hold on to it for a while. Then, out of left field another friend sent me the listing asking me about it. Quickly we determined he wanted the bike and that we would make a road trip together and see if a package deal purchase could be made, as the parts bike also had a potential home but the buyer was not able to be present. Having been stung on a Frankenstein bike buy once myself, a pre purchase due diligence back checking of VIN to CFR was done. All of us need friends, mine is a special friend who lives in an undisclosed location and will remain anonymous for many a good reason. The numbers rang true and I am happy to report that the whole bike is CFR number 95-10884. This motorcycle was used at CFB Borden from April 1995 until December 1999. The parts bike was used in Borden at the same time and was CFR 95-10879. I have not divulged the identities of the purchasers as it is not my place to do so. And besides, the names are left out to protected the guilty. I went along to ensure my friend had some comfort with the bike and rode it pre purchase. It was a great day out with a good friend who will enjoy it. The search is on for panniers and frame elements which will take some time. Some old geezer with a plaid shirt and suspenders photo bombed one of the pictures, not sure who he is. Great to see these two go to good homes

I saw that ad, I think on kijiji, and was tempted. However the location was the deciding factor....I was not ready to make a second trip into Southern Ontario. Good score to the new owners.
The old geezer should wear some form of hat....keeps the glare down on the photos.

I will pass the word along to him Rob, he will likely mutter something like "humbug"
