    I Got the KLR 650!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Got a 2006 KLR 650 which was first purchased in 11/06. Paid $3600.00 cash. Oh yeah, the bike had a total of 98 MILES. Showroom perfect, except where his son dropped it & scratch the tank a little.

    It wasn't fun com'n home @ 60mph due to breakin miles though!!!!!!

    Here's the posting on Craigs List. Don't know how long it'll be up.... http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/mcy/1058385652.html

    It has no upgrades, but that's 1/2 the fun isn't it???? The scratches don't bother me cuz that bike is meant to be dropped! It came from a real nice home & you could tell he took care of his stuff! I'm gonna tickle something pink cuz I'm so excited!!!!

    Now... to spend my weekends "breaking in" the engine!

    Sick deal...

    if it turns out that I really dig the dirt, I'll probably be going the KLR route as well.
    Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
    Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
    Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.

    Re: I Got the KLR 650!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Has anyone ever lost the childhood love of playing in the dirt???

    I have grown to hate AZ street riding! Who wants to ride around town??? There isn't much pavement. When it's really nice to ride in the vally, it's frozen everywhere else. When it's really nice everywhere, it's only 120 degrees. When you do get 2 hours out where it's cooler it doens't last long on a sportbike! Arizona has a LOT of trail riding!!!

    My spidey sense tells me I made a good choice! Plus it's fun to have 2 ponies in the stable!!!!!

    Dietrich_R1,
    You can meet us in Douglas, AZ on the 22nd of March to go to the
    Copper Canyon Mexico area for a week or so. Break that puppy in
    right, on an adventure. More details are in the trips and touring section.

    Looks like a SWEEET Ride! Little short notice for this cat with work. I'm up here in North Phoenix if anyone is com'n through! A place to crash isn't a problem either.

    Liked your bag setup. How much was it??? I am leaning towards a Hard Case on top & some soft sides?
