I am so freaking fustrated with all the decisions I decided this:

I decided not to decide.

I'm gonna keep looking and try and find a good deal.  I would buy that dealer bike but, they want $400.00 too much and I ain't budging and they aren't either. 

So the quest continues...but.....I do like the DR a bit better for the size and all...I like the KLR for the better set up, but it will have to be lowered A LOT!  and there are more functionable farkles for the KLR...


EXACTLY!

Wee?  Oui!

Miss Silvera, you're really going to like the Wee.  Another ex-Connie rider makes the connection to the 'Stroms.  I am continually amazed at how many own both or have had one and then the other.  "Great minds think alike", I guess.

If you haven't been there yet, check out www.stromtrooper.com.  Great forum, and they even have a section for women riders, "Strom Sisters".

The answers to the questions you will have are:

Yes, it's supposed to do that.

No, that won't make it faster.


Here's my Wee on vacation:

A life undreamed is a waste.  A dream unlived is a sin.

COOL! 
Yeah I am signed up there already, for the "free" membership..

I have a Skid Plate coming...I hope it fits right.  I have GIVI crash and a Motech centerstand and I have been told the one I ordered will fit...we shall see.  I found it at Amazon and what I like about them is they are usually a little cheeper and returns are E-A-S-Y! 

I also ordered some set back risers - back 7/8s and up an inch

and a light kit for my GIVI top case...

Whew!
