Brendan Kearns here. I purchased my DL in the spring of 2002. It was one of the first V-Stroms sold in Indiana and I have loved it ever since.

Mods include Garmin GPSV, Touratech hard cases, Hondaline top box with backrest, 12v power adapter.

I graduated '95ish. I was a Hautian from '91 to '96 (born and raised in South Bend) and I lived up on the north side of Terre Haute near the Sky King Airport. The girl I knew from Clay City was Kimberly Howell...Do you know her? I worked with her at Hulman Field for about a year.

The world is getting smaller. My wife (Jennifer Royer then) went to school with Kimberly. She was a year behind Jennifer. I know her dad and uncle.

Were you in the aerospace program?

I started as a photo major (shot freelance for Cycle News (local racing) and had some stuff in Dirt Bike, Motorcycle Tour Travel and a few others), realized I wasn't going to make any money, switched to the business program (marketing emphasis) became bored after 2 years, focused on Econ and Poly Sci then decided to settle down and gradumated in the Safety program.

It ended up being a good decision in the end.
