Guess I'll have to go to plan C.

Plan A = 690E
Plan B = 650X
Plan C = Dog Rooter 650
Plan D = Keep the DRZ
Plan E = Walk

Bloody recession, f*cking with my ability to buy toys.

Get a KLR Bart and be done with it. You know you want one....
Besides, it'll give you a chance to use those KISS platforms bought in the 80s that you've never used.

As an alternative, I can highly recommend Tombstone Backpackers in Piction. Great, easy going people run it and and have secure (relatively) parking in courtyard and great facilities.

Hahaha. Too much plastic for me. Kiss boots or not, I'd drop it lots.

I've got a cunning plan

...............and like all my cunning plans, it will turn to shit and leave me with plan E, bikeless
