    Default picked up a new toy yesterday

    '09 Kawasaki KLE 650 Versys, only had 10 miles on it when I took it off the showroom floor. Dealer supposedly still has some '09's in crates, originally wanted $7,600 for it, since I was a cash buyer and had some negotiation room, was able to get it for $6,400, with new jacket and ppd 600 mile maintanence was $6,700 out the door. Will give it a few months just to get used to it before the modifying begins
    '00 Dodge Dakota, modified gibson exhaust, AFE intake, Cobra CB, Astro Topper/Yakima rack system, Winch Ready front bumper, Milemarker E8000 winch, 4.10 gears, ssbc rear disc conversion, a few extra lights and a build that will never end.

    '00 Dakota

    New project, 2009 Kawasaki Versys, will be more of a street oriented expo vehicle, but it's still in the planning stages.

    didn't even make it a week, 2nd day I owned it, ordered a new windshield, then spool sliders for the rear, sliders for the front, also have engine guards, cover, mirror extenders, front fender extender is coming as well. Sometime in July, panniers and a trunk. Already planning to move a set of PIAA's from my pickup to the bike, possibly two sets of PIAA's one driving and one fog, ordered a swing arm stand. Also planning a gps mount and extra power supply, maybe heated grips come winter. I have about $4,000 in inheiritance money coming in July, figure I will drop it all on the bike and be done in one shot.
