10,000 (s)miles today.

[cycletip]

KLR and GL - polar opposites. Nice mix eddie! Keep racking up the miles. Might be hard to keep pace with the GL BTW - lots of us take silly pictures. Only picture I ever regret are the ones not taken. So the Translap is a goner?

When I'm on the Gold Wing, it's like riding 1/2 an Acura. lol I swap bikes and it's a completely different sensation on the KLR. Each time I swap, it's like having a "new:" bike all over again. Origin of Transalp1@mindspring dot com.: I bought the 1st 89' Transalp new in 1993 with zero miles. It was around for two and a half years and 33k miles. I wrecked it and I didn't have the money to repair it. So, I sold it back to the dealership for a rediculously low number ($850? ) I waited and a second 89' Transalp showed up about 15 months later with 2400 miles in 1997(!). The young guy got it in 1996 from a man who had only ridden it 185 miles since it was new. That's less than a tank of gas! It still had the original air in the tires! LOL I changed all the fluids, both OEM tires, fitted a Corbin seat, taller windshield and put another 30k+ on it before stupidly selling it back to the same Honda dealer in 2002 ---- for exactly what I'd paid for it. =) The Honda guy turned it over to his step-grandson and I haven't seen it since. I did run into the guy a few months ago and he's still riding it. Me? I wish I'd kept both Transalps. Then again, if I did I probably wouldn't be having KLR650 fun... eddie

You ought to hear how much noise is made from the better half when you have 8 bikes and 4 cars..... I've learned that: -- Pausing to look at bikes is approximately the same offense as pausing to look at women. -- Test riding bikes is frowned upon. Test riding women is strictly forbidden. -- Computer full screen naked bike pictures = OK. Full screen naked women pictures, not so much. -- Lusting after '70s vintage bikes is tolerated as long as I don't get one. Lusting after 70's vintage women would require trade in. Mike eddie wrote:
