[dsn_klr650] headlight upgrade (walmart brand?) nklr

[bmgecko]

I just bought my Y2KLR about 1 1/2 months ago, I just been on the list since I figgered out that the KLR was the bike for me. As the weather is getting nicer and nicer, I gotta see when something really big is happening up in Burque, and get in touch with ya. With Quake tournaments and punk rock shows, I'm sure I'll be up there soon. I'll add you to my address book, and note that you're another KLR rider in the Land of Enchantment. Chris Astier
