Afry 1 Posted September 14, 2011 Hi everyone my name is Arnie and I have a riding problem. My problem is I am stuck at work typing this and I want to be riding. Anyway I found out about this site from a member, he was talking about dual sport riding and I got the bug again. I have been street only riding for the last few years and decided to get dirty. Been riding for 40 years including plenty of dirt and asphalt (AFM) racing but now I just enjoy the ride. I talked my son (USMC) into a KLR650 instead of a Harley so we are planning a 7 day ride on KLR's when he gets back from his MEU next June. I am looking for a low mile KLR 2000-2007 - he already has his...I keep it warmed up for him List of bikes owned (as best I can remember)...couple I still have 1970 rupp roadster (lost my cherry to this one) 1973 Honda xr75 1970 Rickman Montesa 250 1974 Yamaha YZ 125A 1976 Honda CR 125 1976 Yamaha YZ 125 1981 Maico 250 (sweet ride in it's time) 1983 Yamaha YZ 490 1985 Honda CR 500 1986 Yamaha YZ 490 1986 Suzuki RM 250 1988 Yamaha YZ 250 1985 Kawasaki KLR 600 (oh yeah) 1990 Suzuki DR 350S 1998 Yamaha WR 400F plated (too much fun!) 1950 BSA 500 ZB34 (how did they ride those?) 1978 Harley XLCR 1982 Suzuki GS 450E 1983 Kawasaki GPZ 1100 1985 Harley XR 883 Storz 1999 Harley FXDX 2001 Harley Vrod (Best Japanese bike Harley ever made) Please let me know if you know of any low mileage KLR650's under 3k See you on the trails, Arnie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He has been helping me find a bike. We got the one for my son but need one more. After riding my sons I see they really haven't changed much since the 600 I had in 85, the VW bug of bikes.
