suddenly too lean

[zircam@yahoo.com]

I think it might have been Reverend Chuck who was looking for a Sherpa. I was sitting around watching GP racing on speedvision and saw an ad for epowersports.com and thought I would check it out. So I go there, and what do you know? They are a m/c dealer. Looks like they have 2000 Sherpas and KLR650s for sale. Follow the link to Dirt Bikes and then Kawasaki ( I am sure you could have figured this out) Good prices too. Sherpa $3495 and the 650 for $4447. I know nothing about these guys or their shipping charges, just passing along what I found. http://www.epowersports.com/ Good Luck, Robb Y2K650 "Clyde"

Then check carburation....... but then, I ain't no motorcycle doctor so what do I know.
