Rev, I suppose you want to keep the peace at home, but you really need to do some 'splainin': A car has a roof. To put it into a garage is a waste of precious roofage.

smile. Perhaps the fringe benefits of a happy woman negate the 'value-added/loss' of wasted roofage. Let me go check the shim/calc site and do a search to see if they have a formula for "happy woman", or "KiLleRista; extra-kindness." If they don't, maybe they should...cough. That shim calc site is good for a lot of KLR calculations, but is not all inclusive. I checked earlier in the search file, and sure as shooting, they don't have a formula for calculating, "When it would be safe to tell her about the 2d KLR?" I think, I am on my own... revmaaatin.

<><><><><><><><> <><><><><><><><> Martin, Leave the 2nd KLR out here for a few weeks. Then I'll swing by someday and return the bike I borrowed from you. Once you have more than 6 bikes it gets kind of confusing for those that aren't into bikes and it'll just be one of the bikes. With less than 6 bikes there will be questions. : ) I know this works well with guns. : ) Best, Jeff Jeff Saline ABC # 4412 South Dakota Airmarshal Airheads Beemer Club www.airheads.org The Beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota 75 R90/6, 03 KLR650, 79 R100RT

ditching

Hey Jake, look at the bright side, you weren't stuck in a snow and water filled ditch like the Rev, and I never herad you mention a flat so the new heavy duty tube that I believe you mentioned installing must have worked....:-)....have a great evening......Greg Jacobus De Bruyn wrote: Before the story, I want to ask Fred this: can I use the Billet Mirror Adapter w/choke mount, without bothering with the choke? My left hand mirror broke out of the housing, so it is either glue it on, or change the switch, or use your adapter. Going back home this morning there was a fallen tree blocking the road, so I went into the ditch, and passed the tree. Coming out of the ditch was different matter. I thought a little further it is easier perhaps, but it wasn t, much worse, the tall grass fooled me. So struggling to get out, the thing fell and came to rest kind of upside down. I managed to get it up all by myself, but no way could I get it out of that ditch. A kind paisano helped me, and together we fought it out, the last minute another good samatarian lended a hand. As far as I am aware no damage to the bike, and I have just a few scratches on my left hand. But the mirror broke off. The mirror was still good, I tucked it under a few bungee cords, but it must have sled out, I was not in the mood to worry about a &=$! mirror.
