It seem like in CA we have a new law every day lately, a little more government, a little less freedom. Friggin Fascists all over the damn place. Whatever happened to the good old days, when you could go out in the orange groves with a case of beer, a slingshot, a lighter, and some explosives and have a good time without haveing som soccer mom in a SUV call 911 on your ass? I need less government and a laser super zapper on my front fender! Fight the power! CA Stu

It's even worse, the gov't or anyone else can put a GPS tracker on your vehicle without your knowledge quite easily. Conall

And to take it a step further......They could program it to pick up the scent of certain burning herbs. Of course that's something that probably wouldn't concern you, Conall. But suppose it could bust you for drinking hot cocoa with a floating marshmallow ?? Bogdan

That's why I have a purpose built KLR with a built-in vaporizer developed by the top secret Skunk works project in the Santa Cruz Mtns. Ahh.... homeland security.

Makes me wonder just how interested they would be in my daily trips to the beer section of the grocery store, then home or over to some lady's house. The person doing the surveillance would probably fall asleep following me around.

Your view of human nature is benign. The person viewing what you consider boring would probably be some pervert that would get off in some kinky way on what you do. He's sharing a...my God !! a 24 oz malt liquor with...a...woman !!! Bogdan, who's big brother is an only child, I hope

Russ, I went with the Pirelli MT21's on my 250. I was told by a local shop that the 130/140's wouldn't fit. If you look at the chain guard, that's where you'll have the clearance problem with the larger tires. I guess you could butcher up the guard to make 'em fit, but that's not me. The MT21's do real well in the dirt and I haven't had any problems with them on the street, although I'm not real aggressive with them. Hope this helps. Have fun and ride safe. Anthony Message: 22 Date: Thu, 2 Jan 2003 17:03:16 -0500 From: "Russell D. Stephan" Subject: KLR250 Other tire sizes. Took the baby Kaw out for a New Year's ride on Jan 1. Since it has been raining here for the last week or so it was quite the mud bath. I relate it to riding in four inches of Vaseline on top of a wet sponge, had fun none the less. I think hosing off the bike took longer than the length of the ride. If I'm going to be doing any trail riding this spring the bike will need more dirt/mud focused tires until the ground dries up for summer. Most dirt bikes seem to have 18 inch rims and there is a limited choice of 17" tires. I'm curious if anyone has any baby Kaw experience with the maximum width the small KLR will accept in the rear? Stock size calls for a 120mm or English equivalent of 4.60" Will the machine tolerate a 130mm? A 140mm? Russell D. Stephan Technology Management Consulting, Inc. 9980 Brewster Lane, Suite A.
