        I like that red. Sort of recalls the 82 1100e color.

        .... I have a hat just like that.

                    I'm pretty sure Trev has the matching red helmet from 1982 on his shelf.

                        Pretty amazing how tiny it looks next to the Cooley. 75% the size with 150% of the power.

                                    That's going to be a hoot of a bike to ride!

                                        Nice!

                                        I bought my second KLR650 on 12/31/2011 while I was still using a walker after the first one was destroyed by a left-turning phone poker. I brought my friend George to help load it into the trailer. By the time I was able to graduate to a cane, I had it farkled to taste, and took the first short spin in February 2012.

                                        The seller was more than a little weirded out, but he needed the cash...

                                                        And 0% of the personality. If I can't see the engine (with cooling fins), and the exhaust, what do I look at when I park it? The plastic covering? No, thank you.

                                                            I like seeing the engine too. But this is about riding. No one loves their old motorcycles more than I do.....but I also ride..a lot. I need a newer bike for that. I want technology on my side...I want a fairing but I'm not ready for a goldwing for example.
                                                            Everything in life changes...no one says you have to like it.
