Melena,

Yuppers, it is the same bike!!  Mike lives in Merced and probably rode it to the rally.  He may have had it for sale online.  A mutual friend of ours mentioned that it was for sale, and I just couldn't pass it up.  He was pretty happy it's 'still in the family', so to speak. We brought it home in late 2006.


Rob,

I'll head down to the garage tomorrow and get some seat pics for ya.  I can't recall if it has four ways or not but I'm pretty sure your dash looks just like mine.  So far I like the screen, haven't really thought much about it.  (I really need to spend more time riding this thing.....)

Ed,

Unless someone stole the bike then brought it back, there IS another bronco R45 in the PNW!   :o :o
dang, and here I thought I had something rare.....  hehehe

Keep talking to us all here Dee!! This is wonderful... you have an obvious love and knowledge base. Boy I do love that single seat!! And the sidebag bars!

Welcome, welcome. I had a crash this summer as well (first time in 38 years) and have some things I learned or hope I learn from it. Don't even know what happened but I sure don't want to have it happen again!! I'll impart any info on getting fatigued if you want.
1983 R65LS - LRB still my favourite!? 1988 Honda NX250, "Toodles Too" and a Suzuki DR650, "Calypso." All stored in the "Brrrmmm Closet".
