Hello, my name is Cliff, and I am a bike-a-holic. My latest slip was the purchase of a 2005 C10 with just shy of 22,000 miles on it from a friend. I don't think he ever washed it, so he must have been a KLRista at heart.
This bike is now very clean! I replaced the rear tire, fixed the cam locks with a pair of hose washers, and put on a Murph's peg lowering kit. As I am recovering from the effects of a serious laydown of my 2008 KLR, I have only ridden the bike twice. Once for gas (2 mile round trip) and once to get the rear tire put on (33 mile round trip).
So far, I think I'm in love with the bike. Need to get my right ankle limber enough to use the rear brake seriously, but that's my problem, not the bike.
Previous rides:
1977 Honda CB125, 1977 Honda CB200, 1979 Honda CB500, 197x (75 - 78, somewhere in there) Kawasaki 750 with Vetter Windjammer fairing, 1980 Yamaha SR500, 1980 Honda CX500 with Vetter Quicksilver fairing.
Took 25 years off, then picked up a 2008 KLR650, and now the Connie!
