Ditto on your bikes, your 95 looks brand new . Do you go off road with it ? I know the roads around steel town are just about as dirty as the ones around DuBois . Do you live on the north side ? I take my wife down to Passavant Hospital a couple of times a year for checkups .

I live in Brookline in the South Hills. I bought the XR650L two years ago with 4,000 miles on it. It was bone stock except for the exhaust. My off-roading is limited to trails and easy stuff because I have a bad knee. I repainted the purple side panels, re-jetted the carb, added an Acerbis 5.8 gallon tank, a rear rack, a centerstand and a kickstart with XR600 parts. Now I have electric and kick start as a back up. It now looks like this:

That was an experience because it involved tearing down the entire engine and splitting the cases, which I had never done before. I did write up on it here:

The MT still has 6 miles on it because I am recovering from knee surgery and won't be able to ride for a while. I did change out the ugly stickered headlight cowling for a MT350E one with the correct markings (thanks to Steve @ KL Motorsports:

Stunning bikes. We have such rubbish weather that it is hard to keep bikes in great condition.

I think you might find that its 6 km and not miles as NATO maps are in km and a miles speedo would be of no use for judging distance.
