I,m 62 years old but every time I get on my KLR I become 30 years younger.
Dose anyone else experience this phenomenon?

When I worked at a Federal Pen in Edmonton, (now retired), I could feel
the tension slide off my shoulders like a flashers raincoat once I got
to the main highway, about a mile away. The other 10 miles home was
just more good stuff after a rotten day.
Works for me.

Every time, although not by a full 30 years. It's when I have those
unplanned get-offs that I feel 30 years older.

I was heading toward old geezerhood. Then I traded in my Valk for a snowmobile and a KLR A14. Now I get this very smug feeling when I see all the old geezers filling up their chrome eyed Boomer Bikes. Hypocritical? Yes, but I think the Grasshopper still gets more looks and the Valk was going to kill me anyway. Too darn fast.

Bogdan lengthened his reserve tube, which seems a solid plan. Someone
(sorry not to be able to credit him) did a mod with flexible tubing
going from left bottom of tank to the petcock. This seemed unreliable
to some. The Bogdan Tube still doesn't reach the fuel in the left
side. How about a left side petcock, with no tube at all?
