[[dsn_klr650] first bike...tall old guy]

[Michael T]

OK, kids. KLR650 is a ture modifiable DS travel tool, more so than many youngins can accept. At 47, 6'2" and about 230 pounds of rocking muscle and food reserves, the KLR, when suspension enhanced, is fun!

My next bike will be a KLR. I can spot you 26 years and still win whatever pissing contest we're in. DC aztecredklr650 wrote:
