Now I need to find a cheap new rat bike. I think I want a
KLR to adventure tour on. Something beat but sound. Something to ride the TAT with this summer and ride to South America on next winter. A bike I can drop with no worries. KTM and BMW are real nice. But not in the budget. Plus if the trip down sucks. I won't feel bad walking away from a rat klr and getting a plane home.

Funny you should mention it, I just bought a '99 KLR650, off Craig's List. Come to find out, he was one of my flight students years ago, lives in Centermoreland. Asking $1500, got it for $1200, without even asking! Nice shape, 20k+ miles. Like you, wanted something I could beat, and still find parts for (unlike my 2 NX's).
I've been busy at the store, but after the holiday's, I'll be a taggin'. Thinkin' about spikes.

Take care Dennis. Stop in if you're up this way.

Dennis, I hope you are ok. Really hurts, those pesky slips on ice. Been there myself. Good way to tear some ligaments or more.....
Just traded my KLR for the BMW in my tag. KLR's can easily be found in PA. You shouldn't have any trouble locating a decent machine.

Ok, back to TOR.

New tag, check my earlier post for the clue. Closer to center of town.

Go get it Dennis! It's not that far away...

Markcap if I didn't have this annoying job cramping my style, I'd be all over that tag!

DenniSMC · 12-14-2009, 05:37 PM

I am pretty sure this tag is in his back yard. And I think I know where it is. But I cannot be 100% I have the correct location. But I am 99%. The body of water seems to have only one sport were there are houses. And on that spot, there is only a small section were the cars can park that way near teh water. But my street view is not good enough to see the houses in the background. They are different.

DenniSMC · 12-14-2009, 05:56 PM

Got it. Now I am 100%. I found the houses in the water reflection in teh shot where he adv'd in the dirt.

Looks like fun...! I've been keeping an eye on this thread for about a month now; would any of you tagging vets like to take a noob out to get one if it ever comes out west again? I got my bike just in time to winterize it, but if it's not wet or icy out I'm not adverse to riding in the cold. I am pretty good at finding the tags on a map, I just don't have any riding experience outside of short local treks under my belt.

After I pick it up today I will be bringing it to your area. You can help find someplace remote to hide it........
