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.

2022 Mercedes Sprinter

Loving the Sprinter with 2022 Intech Explore trailer

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.
