Is this what others are doing, or do you tie down the rear too? I havn't had a problem yet, except that my straps are showing some wear due to abrasion with the sides of the trailer. I would like to know more about what the rest of you are doing. I'll be trailering the bikes up to Northern Michigan tomorrow. Maybe I ought to be strapping down the rear ends too. Thanks in advance for any advice.

WOW, I cant believe all this, who in their right mind would tie down a motorcycle? Let it be free!!! Just dump it in the back of the van, truck, caddy, Pinto, Yugo or whatever. If Kawi wanted them tied down there would be tie-down rings installed. People with newer bikes might want to use the side stand and just drive carefully. Knotztruth where are you? might need some help here. crazydave _______________________________________________________ Say Bye to Slow Internet! http://www.home.com/xinbox/signup.html

Attachments :     That was the first e-mail I saw this morning.  I have to say, that's a mighty fine way to be greeted by the computer.  The internet needs more sharing people like yourself.  Maybe that could be some sort of regulation?  Bikini babes required at some point on all KLR web pages?  We could start a movement, but then we'd need a name...lets not go there again hehe.   [img]cid:000f01c014fa$a00908a0$47d91104@calis[/img]      ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Barthell" jimbarthell@...> To: "Harry Thames" harry_thames@...>; DSN_klr650@egroups.com> Sent: Saturday, September 02, 2000 07:59 Subject: RE: [DSN_klr650] Best Way to Tie Down a KLR- NKLR Well I didn't realize you guys were into that kinda thing but if you point yer browsers to: http://members.home.net/jimbarthell/the.htm There is a series of photos of the Hooters girls washin' my '97 KLR.
