I have a friend that loves his milk crate soooo much that he bought an extra large one out of an industrial catalogue an U-bolted a 4-wheeler rack to his current rack and fastened the x-large crate to that. Looks like a deuce and a half M/C. As far as the "dork factor" he'd be proud of that title. Don't worry about him shaming us. He rides a Suzuki.

Where do all these milk crates come from, anyway? I found mine in a parking lot. -----Original Message----- From: Brent Bacon [mailto:sniper@...] Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2002 3:58 PM To: DSN_klr650@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [DSN_klr650] NKLR milk crate uses I have a friend that loves his milk crate soooo much that he bought an extra large one out of an industrial catalogue an U-bolted a 4-wheeler rack to his current rack and fastened the x-large crate to that.

Yes, but I was in the UK at the time. We had milkmen and milkfloats, but no milk crates. -----Original Message----- From: RM [mailto:rm@...] Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2002 6:36 PM Cc: DSN_klr650@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [DSN_klr650] NKLR milk crate uses
