My name is Marty just turned 48 started riding when I was a teen. 20 years of working, kids I decided to buy a bike and a few years ago picked up a Kawasaki KLR650 for very cheap that was sitting in a garage for 8 years, cleaned the tank, bypassed the safety features. First trip on this bike was a few years back in April, got caught in two major storms, and it was freezing cold most of the trip.
Was determined to make it to Nashville so I tried again this last late September and rode even father to Memphis then to Nashville and home and it was really great. The KLR is a fun bike, just too tall and light for when you have to jump on the highway.
I kept looking for a shaft drive bike and was almost going to buy an older Suzuki GS850G. The seller of the bike was too far for me and just by chance spotted an ad for a K-100 special, no picture or price so I just gave it a shot and it was a very good deal.
