O about 30 or 40 years ago NASCAR invented a little dingus called "The Restrictor Plate" and I switched to sailboat racing for some REAL cut-throat , balls-to-the-wall competition... not a bunch of [color=#000000][b]Deux Chevaux [/b] [i][/url][/i] going in circles. Ya'll hear what I'm saying?[/color] http://www.nascar.com/news/110113/restrictor-plate-size-thunder/index.html == charlie

As a former sailboat racer, I hear you. Sailboat racers have to be smart. The hardest kind of racing I have ever done......My wife and I decided to not race sailboats anymore....to stay married. Canoe racing, that's another cut-throat kind of racing. Criswell Sent from my iPad

I hear you, Charlie. Shakespeare foretold the NASCAR phenomenon 400 years ago. "A tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing." -Macbeth , Act V, Scene 5. Or was he talking about Harley Davidson?

You guys are missing out.  Restrictor plate races have now turned into war games, with partnerships being the key to victory.  Two cars together are faster than one (obviously) but oddly two cars together are faster than three, four, or more cars together, and the lead car in the pair needs to drag his brakes to maintain the higher speeds.  I can explain this to you, if it's too complicated (yes, dragging the brakes increases their speed!).  Discussion here: http://nascar.speedtv.com/article/cup-everyone-looking-for-mr-right/ Check out the last thirty laps of Talladega last year at http://www.nascar.com/2010/races/lapbylap/10/31/lap-by-lap-talladega-2/index.html?eref=/news/headlines/cup&utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter Lead change, lead change, lead change Definitely NOT a boat race.

These are good for us bar hoppers. http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/1/4/74/9974/ITEM/Kryptonite-Disc-Lock-Reminder.aspx Clip it to the right side twist grip.  If you ignore that, you are over the limit.

It covers the KLR completely, even with the saddlebags in place, and packs down into a bag that will stuff inside my helmet (example). It keeps the honest folks honest and the bike clean when parked at a trail head while I'm off exploring. The disc lock seems like a good investment. Just be triple sure you remember to remove it before getting on the bike! =) eddie > [Original Message] > From: imfreelandian > To: > Date: 1/17/2011 9:39:10 AM > Subject: [DSN_KLR650] Re:Re: Alarms > > Thanks to all who responded to my post.
