bought another bike....but not for me
here's the story....my dad had a 91 klr650 that he had when I was about 10 which was only 14 years ago for you old guys
. Anyway, he loved the thing but had to sell it when he moved. Every so often I hear him talk about how he regrets selling it and it was the most fun bike he ever owned. Well, while at work monday my co worker was telling me about a bike he knew of for sale and said it was a 93 klr650 and the guy was asking $700!! So i went and looked at it and all it needs is new bars, tires and front fairing...all of which I've already found on ebay cheap.It only has 3300miles and runsgreat! also, it has had a kickstarter installed (although i imagine it's a bear to kickstart!)Anyway, hear is a pic. He doesn't know about it and I think he's going to have the best fathers day ever!!

Keith,
You're a very good son. I have a daughter your age, and a son that's a little older than you. They both have good jobs. I'm going to send them a copy of this posting. I want a KLR650...
