I won't laugh at you! I ride alone a lot, and pack a trio of Skyblazer flares, and "bike fusees." For the latter, I take a standard 15 min highway flare, cut it in half, and replug the open end of the "striker" half with epoxy. That way, you can either signal from the ground or use them to start an emergency campfire. They're nice and compact. Chris

Or you could just put a Big Gun on your bike and start it up every now and then. Someone will hear it. =:-o Gino

Hi All, I remember someone recently said that they wear a head sock to keep the interior of their helmet cleaner. Does anyone know where I can buy one? BTW, the ongoing chain lube discussion is great, I look forward to seeing what the final conclusions are. It is amazing how versatile WD40 is (isn't WD40 another great byproduct of NASA?). I don't have my bike yet but being a member of this group is filling my head with so much KLR wisdom it will surely explode before I can get one! Thanks everyone and keep up the great discussions, Brad Davis A?? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Kick off your party with Yahoo! Invites. http://invites.yahoo.com/
