Finished cutting the deal today. Due for pickup tomorrow. Its blue. I
haven't seen it yet myself.

Found a place which has GREAT deals on DL650's, $6400 including sales tax.
Didn't get one of those though.

But I thought CO had 300 days of sun! (Doing my best Kurt imitation (sp?))

Well, whatever you bought, I hope it is smooth fast and comfortable. It had
better be a track weapon, dirt tamer and long distance couch. And be the
best damn commuter of all time. Most of all I hope it makes you smile like
a school boy touching tit for the first time. Yeah that's the ticket.

Now I just need to keep the checkbook in my pocket, the wife is visiting
friends and I am going test ride the ultimate poser bike, a Ducati!

It does. But lately here in the afternoons we've been getting drizzles all
over the place.

Nope. Thats the 1100's job. Its about a Corbin seat and new rear shock from
being pretty premo. Once I get the plugs cleaned and it running properly
again.

Right now I'd be happy with something that runs in the rain.

My problem is going to happen in the spring, when I have to decide if I want
to keep all 3 and USE them, or sell the one I use the least.

I think those who are challenged in a dermatological sense shouldn't throw
stones. Your dry skin doing better now in flatlander/muggy/bugland there
Kurt?

I didn't buy a Suzuki, I've never wheelied a bike that high in my LIFE and
my ground hugging weight shows up better around my middle than this picture
implies.

I've only been sniffing around KLR's for like YEARS now....nearly as long as
I've been without the last one.

It'd definitely work in the rain. I want one bad, but 2 bikes seems to be
the limit with my wife...

I've never riden in Colorado, but I've been through a pretty good
section of REAL mountains out west and notice for the most part that
those roads aren't nearly as tight and twisty as they are around our
east end foothills. Sounds like you have a similar experience?

Nah...he's just whining because he picked a poor place to live for all of a
year while he was developing wildly inaccurate memories of Colorado.

For the record though, the canyons are different than some of those SE Ohio
goattrails I grew up on, I don't know which is better, but its hard to fault
some of the flatlander roads. But Kurt is right, they just don't have the
same scenery around them.

As of today, I've got 3. Might scale back in the spring, if I can get what I
want for the touring bike.
