I haven't posted in a while. Here is a link to a ride report of a significant adventure just completed in Az. It was a good lesson in determination. http://www.cactusreese.smugmug.com/gallery/8298776_JK4aw#543448472_novJZ -Bryan

Nice report, Bryan. I'm glad you're friend wasn't hurt. I was impressed with the creativity used to fix his bike.

When I lock the steering wheel, my tail light turns on and remains on...making the steering wheel lock unusable. Anybody heard of this before or have any suggestions on an easy fix for me before diving into the electrical diagram? thx, Scott 2004 KLR650 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] __________________________________________________________________ Looking for the perfect gift?
