I saw some still out-takes from "Cyles South" years ago. Thanks for reminding to get the movie into my collection! http://www.holeshot.com/old/cycle_south/cs_vid.html Michael T A16 lasvegasrider -----Original Message----- From: Jud Jones [mailto:judjonzz@...] Sent: Saturday, January 08, 2005 4:22 AM To: DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com Subject: [DSN_KLR650] Re: NKLR Easy Rider : No way - On Any Sunday w/Malcolm Smith and Steve McQueen HAs anybody seen a 1971 movie called "Cycles South"? It's sort of 'Easy Riders' meets 'On Any Sunday'. Three guys leave Denver on BSA singles and strike out cross country for Mexico and points south. "It doesn't take much money. Just do it, before you get too old. The feeling of freedom you get is really far out."

You can see my version of a Cycles South still out-take, a 1973 BSA B50MX, here: http://stripe.colorado.edu/~lines/b50.jpg Clif

jonneet's mileage

Jon said; Took a spin tonight, and topped off my tank to check gas mileage for the first time (the dealer hadn't filled the tank, so the first fill up didn't count). Turned out to be 50.7 on my 2005 with just over 100 miles. Got a hint of snow on the ride back. Jon Neet Bonney Leke, Wa. USA Sounds about right. My 04 didn't come into its own until it hit about 1600 miles. Mileage and power increases leveled off after that. Kev.. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
