bovespa 0 Posted October 24, 2008 Hello Every Body I am a new member to this forum and San Diego, I just move from Florida. In 2004 I purchased a XL650l, and every body was concern. One year later I fall and hurt my shoulder. Ironic was not with my XR650L, and just by my self. Now 4 years later I still have the same bike with only 2000 miles, and I reading the adventures on this sites get me very excited. I’m Looking forward to ride the trails out there I just need to buy some gears. James Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bikeslut 1 Posted October 25, 2008 YES! buy gear! The XRL will do everything we ride just fine... don't let Nancy, Sally or Pansie tell you otherwise... and I know what you mean about getting hurt... NOT on the bike... my worst injuries are the silly ones... stepping in a hole at the beach...bicycle riding in a campground...skateboarding in the driveway...you can get hurt doing anything; might as well ride Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
