Did you also know that the old Geocities KLR web site can also be found on the internet wayback machine?   http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.geocities.com/~klrdsn [b]From:[/b] Fred Hink [b]To:[/b] KLRistas DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com>; Russell Scott [b]Sent:[/b] Thu, August 26, 2010 11:29:57 AM [b]Subject:[/b] Re: [DSN_KLR650] Adventure Motorcycle   In about 1995 Gino Pokluda started riding his KLR650 to Moab, Utah for a campout with some of his friends.  This annual gathering grew larger and Gino created the Kawasaki 650 Dual Sport News.  This was a newsletter that came out once a year with information about the KLR and about organizing their annual Moab Get-Together.  Gino writes in Nov. 1998 "About two and a half years ago, I got the wild idea to start a newsletter about the KLR650, KLX650 and Tengai dual sport motorcycles made by Kawasaki.  The very first issue of Kawasaki 650 Dual Sport News was a whopping six pages long and was mailed to 24 readers.  The mission of the K650DSN was to provide pertinent technical information regarding the Kawasaki 650 dual port series bikes and be a means of communication between the people that ride them."  Gino's mission continues today with the DSN_KLR mail list on Yahoo.   In 1998 Kurt Simpson created a listserve that is the predecessor to this mail list on Yahoo. The DSN went through several owners and eventually Toby had renamed his publication the Adventure Motorcycle magazine which is still named today with the new owner.   For those that weren't around in 1998, here are some archives of those first messages on the Listserve started by Kurt Simpson. http://www.xmission.com/pub/lists/klr650/archive/ Fred http://www.arrowheadmotorsports.com     [b]From:[/b] russell@...
