Old @$$ guy here -w- an old @$$ bike........LOL
Not an XR, but close. Have owned my '82 XL500R for almost 10 years now, and she still runs great!
She's sorta semi-retired now, thanks to a '02 XR650R.
But i still like to take 'er for a spin around town (or mebbe a nearby town) once in a while.
(she's still street legal) :yeehaw:
It's really sorta of interesting owning 2 big bore thumpers that are 20 years apart.
You get to apreciate the strengths and learn to work with the weaknesses of both.
After getting off the '02 and jumping right on the '82 it feels like you've just gotten on a lowrider Harley! :laugh:
Oh, and even though its 150cc's bigger the '02 is a much, MUCH easier bike to start! really. :worship:
