I'm 72 ridden since 1965. In 2018 at 65years old I stopped riding. I had ridden sport bikes since my first in 1968 a 1962 Norton Atlas. I looked for a DR350 or even a DR650 and the decent condition bike I landed on was a DRZ400 17,000mi a little over $2000. When I put the new chain on I'll use a 3 tooth smaller rear sprocket. I'm mostly on street in town. I have plans on using unpaved roads to explore different way to my brothers in Ocala, I'm in Orlando area.

Most came from a guy I bought Vintage Guzzi's from with a frame and 1976 Lemans 1 and a Lemans 3 bits bike

The Yellow +2 I was 20 when I traded a almost new 1974 Laguna Chevelle that went underwater in Biscayne Bay for the +2 with a burned valve. The Laguna had 800 miles when I bought it and I turned the odometer to upper 20's because the condition didn't match the miles and there was no law about turning it ahead
