new to the klr, introduction short story

I should introduce myself, I'm gonna be here a while, based on owning my last dual sport for 21 years. Here's the story. Before the KLR650 came out, back in 1983 I wanted a big-bore dual sport and the Honda XL600 caught my eye. Bought one brand-new, still riding it today, 21 years later. The bike has been a total blast and I have 68,000 miles on it! As the years have gone by, I've had to keep my eye on what will replace the trusty XL, and the KLR gets the nod. I'll be buying a 2004 / 2005 (A18 / A19, right?) within the next few months. The KLR looks like just as much fun so count me in, hopefully for another 68,000 miles. I've read the Big Cee FAQ, looked through the last 1,000 messages here and so on and poked around on the 'net so I'll try not to ask the newbie questions. Other than the "new price" question I just asked in the previous post, I've only got one other for today. I found a link about a month ago that had a picture of EVERY MODEL YEAR of the KLR from its inception, and like a dork, didn't save it. Anyone know the URL?
