Speaking of colorful characters from our past, it is always good to hear from Tumu and is nice to know that an Okie can keep his sense of humor even while living in the civilized NE.

It was fabricated by Jake Jakeman RIP. It didn't quite fit " his ear told him upon installation. He took it out, put a file to it and all was fine; the needed changes were reported to Jake. He hand installed studs into his tires so he could commute in New York year round. He was so relaxed in urban riding that he actually fell asleep while on his klr on, I believe, an expressway in New Jersey. He messed up his hip but it healed. > > > Nice to think back, > > Bogdan > I used to ride and wrench with Devon all the time. He's got two kids now and drinks from the orange kool-aid fountain. After the accident he went to a smaller bike (KLR250 I think) and eventually to team Austria. We used to have some good times finding dirty places in the NYC metro area. One of them is now an IKEA. da Vermonster [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
