I asked Alan once, what is a hortonhearsawho...the nomiker in his address, cough. So he told me. And today, I Yeah, I got a request--movies today Dad?--Its only 50 miles (to a theater from here...(but only a few clicks away on the computer to see what is 'playing')-- OK, lets go. Load up two really great kids, and head West.... Well, for $15 in mantinee tickets, and $7 in unlimited popcorn and pop, you 2 can see for yourself, what a hortonhearsawho really is http://www.hortonmovie.com/splash.html It was a nice afternoon, and at 31F, still to cold to herd them around in the ORV park. Soon, though, I am going to feed them some KLR generated, gumbo-dust, cough. hack, rooost, cough. smile. revmaaatin.

motorcycle lift stand

Hey Bob, First, I wouldn't recommend the jack you have shown. It's only rated for 350 lbs and at a min height of 13" you would need a way to lift the KLR up to get this jack stand under it. My back is sensitive to all the bending needed to work on the KLR. So I recommend the Craftsman Professional 1500 lb. Motorcycle/ATV Jack or similar from various mfg's. Check it out at: http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00950191000P?vName=Automotive&cName=Tools+%26+Equipment&sName=Lift+Equipment There are similar types of these MC jacks on the market priced from $50 to $250+. Do some research and pick the one that best suits your needs and budget. Costco and Kragen Auto Parts carry the less expensive models that work just fine. My buddies use them with their over weight HOG's... Best Regards, Bob Eble '99 KLR650 '78 Z1R '72 H1B http://997MakeMoneyNow.com/pages/619.htm [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
