Hi, my name is Alden. I'm back on motorcycles after about 20 years and it's great to be back! I just traded a '10 Ninja 650 for a '12 KLR650, the Ninja was fun but in western Colorado the pavement can end at anytime and I was tired of turning around all the time. The KLR is so much a better choice for me! I'm a machinist by trade and have designed one part for the KLR, so far. I'll throw a post into the marketplace with a link. The sun is shining, cya! :chopper:
