    I had a Passport/ Cub 70. First bike! Got it for $100 and ran it for a month's before selling it for a Yamaha Riva 200, which last a couple months and then I bought the GS750.

    Really cool bikes, mine was never that nice...

      Well, another daughter is on the road with a bike. That makes 3 sons and 2 daughters of mine who ride now. We did a 90 mile bike and hike today up north to Bald Ledge Vista trail. Great route to get there and enough exercise to get a workout. Nice views of lakes and mountains. She got her first dousing of rain on the way home. Plenty of back roads and dirt road riding to start to gain experience. The KZ550 is a perfect bike for all that. Even though the KLR would have navigated the Class VI road at our destination, we parked the bikes and walked in to the trail head.
      On the way home....

              Yeah Steve like the NOOB said, use the search feature!

              Because posting a link would be too much of PITA ...

              Ha!

                              I missed that thread.
                              As others have said, a nice de-Ling.

                                We had a great ride yesterday. Longest I'd ever done. I checked, and double checked, the gas usage and can't believe it. This stock 83 GS850G, with my wife on the back, climbing in altitude, traveled 143 miles on 2.89 gallons of fuel. That's 49.5 miles per gallon! That seems too good.
                                What do you guys typically get?

                                Ok, just a quick search shows that's not far from expected. With a giant windjammer, two up, gear, still good though.
