I hope this the right place to put a for sale ad, if not I apologize. I cleared my motorcycle collection a few years ago(too old to ride) and now my beloved is forcing me to cleanse the accessory room.  I have the following items for KLR touring: Happy Trails Northwest pannier rack(super heavy duty rack), a pair of Givi 36L side cases, Happy Trails K9 fork brace, Happy trails engine bar/footpegs and a Rifle windshield base. The link to pictures is at the end. All pieces came off a KLR650 with 1,871 miles on it. You can see the bike(dripping wet after washing) in my driveway and the odometer when I sold it.  All the items were purchased new from either Arrowhead or Happy Trails and were mounted at approx mile 1,000. All are mint except for some scratches on one of the GIVI's. I drove away with one side unlocked, fell off in my driveway. $1000 worth of touring gear, that I'd like not to ship. If some one lives close to Baltimore, $500 sounds like a good deal for gear of this quality. Note: Happy Trails sells mounting pucks to fit other bags if needed(like the Ortliebs for instance).  Link to pix.  https://picasaweb.google.com/112560763300312657391/KLR650?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCLikl7zH-MH0-wE&feat=directlink I also have some stock parts that came off the bike at 1,000 miles as well- stock front disk and pads, shop manuals, fork springs, front brake cable,etc. MY direct email is rwk@... Next heartbreaker is letting go of my beloved R100GSPD, the last bike in the stable.

From my experience, Your Wife is the one that used the words, TO OLD TO RIDE. I have seen guys in the 80's still DS riding, And I have seen Many a Men that give up everything they love, when there Wife says GROW UP. 1 friend's wife Nag me at 42, "When are you going to grow-up, and stop riding".  She goes NO-where, just wants to stay hm. and have Garage sales, So He HAS TO ALSO.  On Thursday, January 1, 2015 11:37 PM, "rwk@...

I hope I never get too old to ride. But, I'm having problems with a body that can't ride long distances with out much discomfort and No hard core offroading anymore. But, I did manage to put 4585 on the KLR and 4667 on my 1250S Bandit. for 2014.  71 yr old Andy in SW Louisiana

That's darn good for a man of any age. Thanks for the motivation in the New Year!!

But, I'm having problems with a body that can't ride long distances with out much discomfort and No hard core offroading anymore. But, I did manage to put 4585 on the KLR and 4667 on my 1250S Bandit. for 2014.  71 yr old Andy in SW Louisiana

So the Resolution is 5K per bike this year I am too old to do the things I don't want to do anymore, but to ride is not on that list... Michael

No way I could consider chasing the MX bikes on horse paths today. I'd break something even if didn't fall. It was humbling enough 15 years ago to have the neighbor's little teenage daughter leave me sitting- 'course even better to mention that to the young guys on their race prepared MX machines when I stopped to let them catch me. I don't think they even saw her once she dropped the clutch. There's old and there's "far less talented". I seem to be combining the two, more and more.

Crap "old and far less talented", That should be the name of my youtube channel... LOL There is one way to make a KLR seem light and nimble... Ride a BMW GSA a couple days then get on the KLR!!! Michael
