2018 KLR650
My nephew wanted to sell a 2018 KLR650 that I had acually driven up to Sacto area to pick up for him, He's had it a few years and decided he's got too much stuff. Tried to sell it but no bites so I told him I'd give it a try. I brought it home and cleaned it up but still no success. Ended up trading it in on a new bike.That post to come
Lowering the CRF300L
Janeen wanted a little more power and so I lowered the CRF300L 2" to see if she likes it.So far she does and It looks like I lost a great little bike,
2024 Honda CT125
after watching a video of a gentleman who helps with the BDR. Janeen decided
that she wanted a little Trail 125. They aren't easy to get, but we found one
down in Los Angeles. I hopped in the sprinter and picked one up the next day..
She loves it, but wants a little more power.

2016 Husqvarna FE350S
So this one came at the wrong time but I'm glad it happened. Before I bought my CRF300L, I went around asking all my buddies if anyone wanted to sell their FE350S Husqvarna or KTM equal. I was given prices that were more than I wanted to spend or was told NO!. It's a very popular bike that holds its value very well so I get why they weren't selling. Shortly after settling on the CRF300L one of those buddies called to ask if I was still interested? He gave me a price $2500 less than he originaly offered it to me and I had to grab it. Came with tons of goodies so I'm very lucky. My money stash has taken a hit but I sold my FE701 enduro for enough to make up most of the difference. My garage is too full, but my options are wonderful.
2023 Honda CRF 300 L
Latest acquisition back on September 8th 2023 was a 2023 CRF300L. Not exactly what I was looking for but light weight so I could carry it on my Sprinter Van. Oh yes, by the way I sold my motorhome 2 years ago during the last days of Covid and ordered a Sprinter which came in 11 months later. Spent the next year building it how I wanted and hopefully I will soon will get to do some traveling. The 300 has turned out to be a better bike than my 2018 250 Rally. more low end grunt with different gearing.

1996 Suzuki DR200 (SOLD)
I got a call from a buddy that said his granddaughter had a motorcycle she needed to get rid of. It had been under a tarp for a few years in the backyard of a family she was a caregiver for. I picked it up and brought it home and cleaned it up. Carb was dirty and tank needed cleaning. It was full of spiders which continued to hatch for a month or two. I had bought a Chinese carburetor for it and couldn’t get it dialed in so I took it to a local dealership. They couldn’t fix it either and asked if I had the original Carb. They cleaned it up and now runs great.
