Started my bucket list ride on a KLR650 in 2001 and finished the adventure from S. Florida across the central U.S. on the Trans America Trail and up to the Arctic Ocean in Alaska, then southward to Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina and north to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, before flying back to Miami 2 years later in 2003 with about 50k miles ridden and mind boggling sights and experiences in the memory bank. My Yorkie dog, Punky, rode all the way on the tank bag. I married a lovely young senorita, who joined us as pillion in Lima, Peru.
Now, at 74, I'm getting a turbo and some other performance mods installed on the C14 (yes, it's still in the shop) to check riding FAST off the bucket list. Lew
