Settle down gang, or Sheriff Fred will have to lay down the law. People buy all kinds of things for image and appeal. Its human nature, and a lot of time it makes no sense. But than how many things in this world do? R [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Bought it because it's simple, reliable, and about the only other bike that I've ridden that is as much fun as my KLR. My Sportster is not a cruiser. It has a standard UJM sitting position and ergonomics with a very torquey engine. If you want to check out my next Harley, do a web search for the new XR1200 Sportster. ed

Ed in imho the sportster is one of the better deals out there esp after the o4's rubber mounted and this year fuel inj. I have an 02 buell and I love it nothing but routine main for many miles. Like my klr but diff type of ride. I have farkled it more than the harley if you can believe that. LOL Keith -- In DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com, "Ed Chait" wrote:

[Russell Scott]

Sorry you missed my point Ed. You bought it because it appeals to your idea of fun. People buy KLR's for image and appeal. People buy all kinds of autos for image and appeal. People buy computers for image and appeal (think Mac) etc., etc., etc. Sometimes more for practical appeal than unpractical image. In other words, I don't care what you or anybody rides, that's why its called freedom. We are not better or worse because of what we own or don't own, what we ride or drive, where we live, what kind of job we have, etc. etc. I hope that clarifies my opinion.

While I believe 10% of hd owners richly deserve every rotten thing Don said, I think it's time to move on. Wannabe HD biker guys AND loud-racepipe-using sportbike squids both piss me off- they are collectively the reason that people look at me like I'm a direct descendant of judas iscariot when I tell them I ride a motorcycle. Add to that dumbass loud-fourstroke-dirtbike-can't-ride-singletrack-so-i'm-riding-WFO-down-a-candyass-dirt-road guys, and that's who's pissing me off this week.
