[dave.rogoski]

I have been a Spot user for 2.5 years - today I received a newsletter that they had a Nascar special going on where you would receive a free spot if you paid for one year of service. Great deal. I would have saved $150. Let me know if you are interested and I will forward the email with the details.

I have been a Spot user for 2.5 years - today I received a newsletter that they had a Nascar special going on where you would receive a free spot if you paid for one year of service. Great deal. I would have saved $150. Let me know if you are interested and I will forward the email with the details. I want to be sure I'm understanding you.... If I pay Spot $99 for a year's basic service then they'll GIVE me a SPOT free of charge? If so please send me a copy of the email at...

A little googling turned up this on the net. http://www.findmespot.com/robby/ This maybe be what he was talking about. If y'all haven't read up on spot and if you do much riding where cell phones don't work you really might want to look at a SPOT. I'm not easily impressed by new gadgets when I already own a Garmin Zumo 550 and a Garmin 855 Nuvi which are both pretty much cutting edge consumer GPS products but the SPOT offers some pretty amazing stuff. It's a way for people you select to see where you are and where you've been and track the whole thing on google earth. You can also send messages (not sure how detailed they can be) to them with it regardless of cell phone service. A touch of one button summons help or if the people tracking you see that you haven't moved for awhile and you should they can be aware that you might be disabled and send help. I see almost limitless applications related to serious adventuring dual sporters with KLR's. Of course other bikes can't take you to such remote places... $bob$ _____ From: DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com [mailto:DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of dave.rogoski Sent: Thursday, March 19, 2009 6:55 PM To: DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com Subject: [DSN_KLR650] Re: The Lone Rider - Spot is on special I have been a Spot user for 2.5 years - today I received a newsletter that they had a Nascar special going on where you would receive a free spot if you paid for one year of service.

I would like to forward that to Ted Danson. The big cry baby, would have a stroke. I am not a big fan of venison. The tenderloins make a descent steak, but other than that I am not that thrilled with it. I have had antelope, and elk which I think is much better. Especially elk. I am in Illinois, so I only get those when my in-laws go to Wyoming and have a successful hunt. Around here my favorite is quail, or pheasant. Rick .44 Magnum revolver & rifle, Wingmaster 12 & 20 guage, .50 cal. Black powder rifle. and a few others.

I activist them with a .270 and then, I eat them. I share them with my friends. We give thanks for the bountiful provision. You can't get more activist than that. My 11 y/o daughter is a feminist (or will be). Her dual sport motorcycle helmet is pink. She presently condemns 'targets' with a BB gun. Her new tool of activism is a .223, and an 870 20gauge/youth with a .25-06 rifle waiting in the wings. She will join the killing fields this fall. Animal activist. spit. Last time I checked, you can't eat a promise--or a politician, though some in the white-house have believed otherwise. (Yes, the inference is deliberate.) revmaaatin.
