Mike, Good luck. In this country we wink and let in some million? illegals a year. Yet when someone tries to visit legally they get pissy. My cousin, a prosperous lawyer from Poland also wasn't allowed to cross over from Canada. What assholes ! Bogdan

jeez, just take a different road. there must be a zillion of them that don't have border controls. when i was in switzerland last month, i headed over to germany to buy beer (cheaper and better there), and noticed there was quite a long line of cars at customs coming back. i went one town further downriver, and their customs office was uninhabited, so no line. mw

Just what I was thinking. Skirting the law always adds to the excitement. After all, some call it Adventure Touring. Knot - who really is a big scaredy cat and would never cross the border without all the paper work, but its fun to tell someone else to go for it. ps: dab a bit of mud on the license plates and scoot on down to Moab In a message dated 05/22/2000 2:00:35 PM Eastern Daylight Time, MWeaver@... writes:

Yus, Knot didn't give you the full version of his marriage advice (that he gave to Kurt), something I have saved in my KLR file:

>been married 17years - when it good - it very good, when it bad - it horrid! >Make Mrs. happy and you be happy. Learn to say: 1. I sorry. 2. I very >sorry. 3. Honey, I really very sorry. Number 4 (hardest of all) "Honey, I >really very sorry, I was WRONG". Knot learn to go directly to step 4 and get >quicker results. And advice to Mrs Kurt, "Never let the "little boy" inside >your man die. The "little boy' is what brings true joy to life. If Kurt >keep his motorbikes, he still "little boy" no matter what happen. May your >married lives be blessed".

I couldn't agree more with him. Ralph Married 18 years this summer -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ralph E.
