Just a FYI note: a KLR weighs more than 400 lbs even empty and unloaded. Mine weighed over 600 lbs as is when Copa weighed me in Panama City: five hard cases full of crap, plus guards and racks and all the rest. It's also far more than 30 inches wide and 38 high, but maybe if you disassemble thoroughly you can make it fit. Don't know if this matters to you (or anyone) at this point, but thought I'd point it out.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
