Rick, we must have similar tastes. I don't have my KLR anymore (got a WeeStrom instead), but I do have a R75/6. My stable: http://bikepics.com/members/spacemonkey/ The 70's airheads still come up for sale regularly. For instance there have been a few up on the Minneapolis Craigslist in the last month. -Barron

Are these bikes you have now, or have had over time? Nice CL350. I have a CB360T. It needs new diaphrams for the carbs. Has been sitting in the barn for a year now. (carbs drained, and oil in the cyinders) The BMW looks perfect. Someday....

FWIW, among the guys who were racing at the Rallymoto event in Harrisville, NY two weekends ago, the consensus was that an HID helmet light does way more good than upgrading the bike's lights. Of course they were all running HID on the bike and on the helmet. the description of the helmet HID (by Trailtech) was "It's like a laser beam, lighting up the night, right through the trees on the side of the road so you can see around the bend."
