[Carpenter]

New Friends, Over the holidays, I did some long awaited internet leg work regarding dual purpose motorcycles. A few days ago, I subcribed to this klr650 egroup. I am delighted to have crossed paths with you people. Just reading a few days of the list, I can find many things in common already. I am looking for klr650 type people in the midwest, mostly northcentral Missouri. I live in Carrollton, Missouri which is 75 miles NEE of Kansas City. I plan on starting some major trips this coming summer...initially traveling the US and Canada in durations of two to four weeks at a time. Longer trips as I get all my ducks in order. I am also into powered parachutes (PPC) and powered paragliders (PPG). I own and am learning to fly a PPG "sky bike". I am in the market for a dependable dual purpose motorcycle...more than likely the KLR 650. For trade, I might be talked out of my '95 Honda 4x4ATV 300cc with racks and low hours. For those who are interested, check out my website where I feature one of my product lines. Also included are some of my personal accounts of the Vietnam War and a photo of my ppc which has since been sold so I could buy the ppg. I plan a major webpage revision this winter as I have a few more stories and ideas to incorporate into the site. My website address iswww.BonsaiAmericanStyle.com> Drop me a line or post it on this list, I will be following it. In the Spirit of It All, Tom Carpenter Carrollton, MO
