I keep my hair short. It’s ironic, because in the 70’s, I wanted to grow long hair like other kids, but my parents wouldn’t let me. It was a source of teasing and tweenage angst.

If the term “cultural appropriation” existed before this “age
of offendedism,” I was in the thick of it.
Kawasaki’s proven KLR, now available in size short!
Before multicylinder adventure bikes with supersport power became status quo in the ADV world, motorcyclists who wanted comfort and accommodation similar to a touring bike and the ground clearance and long travel suspension capabilities of an enduro had limited options, most of which featured a single-cylinder engine. The Kawasaki KLR650, tried and true as a hammer, developed a huge cult following because of its unfailing ability to conquer long
days in the saddle over varied terrain.
