old guy with tons of bike experience moving on.... I wanted to get lighter bikes so I replaced the GS with a Versys 650, and replaced the KLR650 with the (new to me) KLX 250. I'm a 40 year aircraft mechanic with fabrication and machinist experience. I'm a pilot & have a 160 hp PA18 on Edo 2000s. have a hovercraft (built 3). I used to restore vintage Brit bikes but decided to get rid of the right side shifters because I couldn't keep it straight anymore. anyway, Hi all, if you are ever in Alaska look me up. Tom
