No ill intent??? You have no idea what the folks on this list do or how they ride and you insist on implying that you (and your bike) are somehow superior. AND you TRAILER a beemer. I don't know which bmw list you're on, but the one I'm on would take a dim view of any perfectly good beemer that is loaded on a trailer without extreme extenuating circumstances. Having only a week to get from Texas to Utah? Doesn't sound like much of a hardship to me. But what do I know? I only rode my CBR600F3 to Las Vegas and back visiting 19 states and 7k miles. I did take longer than a week, though. I plan on doing a helluva lot more on my new RT. BTW - BMW took first through fourth at the PD. The first three were F650s and the fourth an oilhead. Read the stories in the IBMWR list about adventure touring in Africa using oilhead GSs. LindaT.

I would think that the all-mightly R1150GS would make much better time solo than loading it onto a tralier and tugging the lump all the way to Moab? oui - non? sorry, just trying to find the logic, and out of curiousity, why do you want to go there anyway, you might dirty your clothes or something else.....like your bike. Cheers Carl.

Careful boy, we've got grammar police here, don't you have them in the BMW world, too?

> I actually came here to get > ride information for your rally and pick up a few tips and make > contacts.

Do you often walk into bars in Texas and slander the regular's pickup trucks? I'd sure like a pic of your mug after that... Where are the bouncers? Can't a girl just enjoy a nice beer at the corner pub without being subjected to this riffraff?

> I can assure you, I am a real individual, not someone > posing as someone else (however that is done?).

Dude, you're on aol. Check out the "Switch Screen Name" button.

> Thank you for the url, I went to that site to register, but found > no means of online registration, surly a Mastercard can be used?

Hey man, you wanna pay the extra credit card fee, just go over to http://www.paypal.com, send me $65 via paypal, and I'll make sure you're registered for the rally in Moab.

I've tried to hold candles on my KLR. They keep blowing out... Must be some fancy aerodynamic plastics on your BMW to keep the candles lit... Doesn't it pain you to hear the plastic being hit with gravel as your riding companions roust past you?

> From what I have > read, you spend a great deal of money trying to make your KLR's > into BMW wannabes; why not just buy a BMW to start?

Others will cover this point in greater detail than I. Mostly, well, because I can pick up the KLR when I drop it (except when I've just sprained my ankle). The same can not be said for any of the BMW's I've ridden. Too Heavy. And, well, that's where a dual-sport loses in the dirt...

> Just my opinion.

Which you're welcome to. Now buy a round for the house, and we'll all give you a second chance.

Um, BD? So, um, yeah, well, ya see, some of us would like to know... Will you be wearing your crown for MOAB? How about your velvet cape? I'd personally like to know so that I can make sure to avert my lowly KLR-owning eyes whilst in your presence... I'd truly hate for you to become angered and have to show me up on some trail in Utah.

I liked the taste of that bait..in fact..couldnt resist it unfortunatley; but you are absolutley correct, they are good people, its just the ones they banish from their list that bait me. thanks, and of course - best regards carl.
