They can tip over and hurt you. Besides, the market already offers the ideal vehicle for when we become too old and feeble to ride a motorcycle. It's called the "Harley-Davidson". Low CG, modest performance, no expectations; all the attributes that make the Harley the ideal trainer or woman's bike also qualify it for geezer duty. The only downside is the embarrassment of being seen on one. > > --- In DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com, "revmaaatin" wrote: > > > > > > > > --- In DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com, "gpokluda" wrote: > > > > > > Reliable sources within Can Am have confirmed that the subsidiary of Bombardier will enter the adventure touring motorcycle market with an all new off-road capable Spyder in mid to late summer. > > > > > > snip > > > > Welcome to my parlor said the SPYDER to the fly. cough. > > > > Gino, and others, I appreciate the forum and its ability to generate discussion. grin.

The first run of stoves was a great success, so we embarked on a second run. We currently have stoves in all colors ready to ship. More details on the kits below. Thanks for lookin'! Mark The price is $25.00 for each kit, plus $3.50 shipping for one stove, $5.50 shipping for two stoves, and free shipping for 3 or more stoves. Please add $2.00 per stove to Canada. PayPal funds to (evy@...) Or, if you'd like to pay by cheque/MO, send us an email for our mailing address. Why? http://vanhornwhitewater.com/EvyCharlotte2.jpg > My 16 year old (as of April 5th) daughter Evy, is a Whitewater Slalom Kayaker and member of the 2012 US Junior Team. She also earned the bronze medal at this year's US National Championships, sharing the podium with this year's US Olympic Team member and a US Senior Team member. In the 2013 Bank of America US Open, she finished 1st in-class, and 3rd overall. As a fund raiser to cover her travel expenses for the current 2013 season, including The Jr World Cup in Europe, we crafted limited run of lightweight camp stove kits, with stoves manufactured from 25oz aluminum water bottles. While this technology is not new, we have done much R&D to create a lightweight, durable stove with known performance characteristics in a variety of operating conditions.

However, because they are assembled by hand, you may experience slight cosmetic variations from kit to kit. Also, due to unavoidable variations in the raw materials, the stoves may have small scratches and distortions, which do not interfere with their overall appearance or performance. All kits function 100% and will provide years of productive use. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

I somewhat imagine that it will require ownership to cure the curiosity. Similar story: 2 days in the life of a boat owner, etc. m.
