Why don't you try http://www.traderonline.com and search the cycle listings. It seems to me I saw a couple in GA, which isn't too terribly far away from TN. Jeff

Huh? 20k is high mileage? Are you serious? I know people who do that in one year. I average more than 10k/year. I realize the KLR won't last as long as some tourers, but surely 20k is nowhere near the average lifespan. Right, folks? I've only had this bike for a few months and I like it a lot, but I am impressed (depressed?) with how much maintenance it needs. Mind, it's the first chain-driven bike I've had in >20 years and my other bike is a Honda ST1100 with ~100k of ridiculously maintenance-free miles. Even so, I'm constantly tightening bolts, fixing this and tweaking that on the Kawi. Please tell me it isn't a disposable toy. TomK

either. 2nd choice was a KLX 650, which I ended up with. Funny, my first choice was the KLX but I didn't see any in my area in any price range. The KLR was much easier to find so I got one. The seat was an easier sell on the wife, though. Hang in there Glen, there is a bike out there for you and you should be able to get a good deal (I got a 96 with less than 1500 miles for $3000.)

Yeah, but the combo (in the right order...yoga, bike, drugs, beer, meditation) ... Now that's the ticket!! dat brooklyn bum _______________________________________________________ Get 100% FREE Internet Access powered by Excite Visit http://freelane.excite.com/freeisp
