You are doomed - everyone over 19 is old! I am near 50, and I have been assigned to early death for decades. ( Weep, cough). Michael T A16 lasvegasrider -----Original Message----- From: jellono@...

You have a XT600 ? At least the KLR will not feel like a powerhouse for you then. One of the Enduraid guys had what I think was a XT600 base bike and then modified just a little tiny bit, seemed to me even with him on the bike (he was kinda a big guy) the front end had a hard time staying on the ground. http://www.geocities.com/enduraidrally/ Click on the "Hosts" small pic to see the bike (left side) The KLR is a very easy bike to ride, heck I was off 2 wheels for almost 16~17 years and it all came back within a few minutes of getting on the bike for the first time.

Over 19 old? Keyaw!!!!!!!!!!. I used to have the attitude of "Live fast, Die Young and Make A Beautiful Corpse". Now at 61, my lovely daughter says I forgot to die. Sometimes I wonder about that kid. But really , I think somebody up there likes me. :-)... Andy in Louisiana Who was pretty lucky and most always had a bike around since 16.
