weekend update

[Frank Conley]

I'm back in Philly after quite the adventure tour to NOAB. You can see some snaps at: http://legalmac.com/motodiary/noab/noab.html> At the end you will see some pix of my foot. During a river crossing, the bike ended up on top of me--or more specificially, on top of my left ankle and foot. Since these pictures were taken the swelling as increased a bit, and the bruising continues to darken. But from all the first aid books I read, so long as the bruising isn't over the joint, there's probably no broken bits. Plus, Millerized assured me that if I can walk on it, it ain't broken. I'll just have to buy left shoes in size 15 instead of the usual 10 1/2. NOAB was a blast. Great people, a fantastic host, amazing scenery, great weather, great food, and a great ride. We did about 70 miles of trails and 30 miles of two lane highway (or that's my best guess because, in addition to some other damage, my speedo cable fell out and I lost some mileage). This was my first offroad riding, so I was underequipped. Next year, motocross boots! Thanks to all who helped to make it a great first time, especially Mark, my pal Millerized, and Mr. Moose. Can't wait for next year! --Frank P.S. Zack, I still have a "Dual Star exclusive" sticker for you. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Win a $20,000 Career Makeover at Yahoo!

Did a little dual-sport'n this weekend. A buddy from Tehachapi, CA on his Transalp took me around some of his favorite local spots. For you pavement jockeys, the ride between Caliente and Bodfish is something very special. Here is a link to it if you are ever in the area. Many 2nd gear corners, on a narrow but well maintained road. Rode it coming and going. Neat little general store/biker hangout at the top of Walker Basin. http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?ovi=1&zoom=5&mapdata=OE4WNszgW9xUw%2fg2 %2f4LM83jkzqzUfjHPJhOdXAvNLPlZiu8xFngo0tZks4nM3mGu%2fnNhqCJQDJBl2qNK7aHQ1%2b pZmRFlxKpDc4BTjwiYBVsJucOnBcsIm87gTrBaCVcWxKoBKiWtaMrP0xvBiA490B7dZ1We1tKwRC R8Pg7mBYMx0fBTUSe0d%2bZ8NCWOGGIVb9QNud%2bRwXZ1d0Dihl6gE79x63G6xBIuOjYiig581z FxRWXe%2fTn2GfWQNd%2f4b1ru57s66XE1xiLAwCvnimXD6cywmgoBjYiN%2brv%2bbgj6w5I%3d Also meet a guy at a gas station in Rosamond (near Edwards A.F base) who told me his buddy has a KLR with 170,000 miles! on it. He said "he rides it everywhere." Yep. Russell

Frank- My cuz, bro, pops, Millerized is prolly right........just a sprain, not broken. The right fitting and most comfortable personal protective gear is more important than tweaks and mods to your bike. Speedy recovery and welcome to the KLR family. Steve The Mule A17
