    OK this week the theme is "What's new". Put up a shot of your most recent bike purchase. This was right after I picked up my 2001 KLR 650 in Northern Alabama 6 years ago.

    2001 KLR650 too pretty to get dirty

    Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

      I still think it’s ugly, but it’s a fantastic machine.

        To quote my Buddy Jeff, "When I'm riding it I'm not looking at it".

              1965 Honda Super Cub. Acquired about 4 years ago. It was going to be a errand bike at the cottage but that cottage never happened. A fun bike to ride.

                I'll throw a pic in here. May 2001 i bought a 2005 DL650, 35,000klm with suspension upgrades. Has an Elka rear shock kit with a kit in the front using gold emulators with springs to suit an 85kilo rider and me not much heavier, 4kilo's, it rides and handles real well.

                    most recent mocykl acqusition
                    2021 (10 days before Brown County) (GK engine dissasembled yet) , just unloaded off the trailer the '09 RT that brought home from the dealer, after '02 RT self-destructed (for the 2nd time).


                    Why did I get an other RT....?
                    Cuz the dealer was willing to take the '02 RT off my hands.

                    Later I figured that was not a "low" seat (like salesman said), it was an "extra Low" seat on a factory Low option bike.
                    A few weeks later I found a regular seat set to put on it.

                    Note: Prior acqusitions would be
                    2015 (02 RT in SanDiego).
                    2005 (GK & Shadow500).
                    1994 (850G).
                    1982 (650G).
                    1979 (KZ400).

                      I simply assumed time travel was involved. Who knows what's going on down there.

                        Got-ya day and the first picture I have of the Ninj-ADV 250...



                        Willa and Daddy built.

                        Can't call it a purchase because I got it for Free... But I did buy parts to get it up and running so, that counts right?

                        My latest acquisition at least!

                          The most recent thing I bought, other than tires, was this shiny new crash bar for my beemer. I tend to tip over a bit and this makes me feel much better about it.

                              I claim the "Jedez" precedence. This bike was given to me out of the blue...no title, plate, or gas tank which contains the gages. I was told that it only had about 250 miles on it and judging by the tires, it's the truth.
