we few...we happy few....
Hey bob, I agree with you 100%
we bunch of brothers...
Mine is my first bike, I'm 41, 6'6, 300 lbs...and I think I have made
the best choice since married my wife, 10 years ago.
Maybe, maybe, the KLR i sthe perfect companion for those of us who
wants to do some mixed ride?
I climb to 4560 mts in gravel, I ride across volcanic sand, I survive
to street riding here (and that's the worst after Tora Bora)...
I hope I could ride to Machu Pichu next year and then to Usuahia
2008...
I like to think that if good rides bikes, his is a KLR 650..
regards
Guillermo
