Ok Walt, exactly what I was told to believe by the Hondapotymus guy who
by-the -way had retired from a power plant from where he finched the before
mentioned gel battery. But now.....not coincidentally Verle (along with
yourself my computer mentor) mentions an article that I just read 1 hour
ago. (It was in Motorcyclist, Verle). In it some Yuasa honcho says, as Verle
quoted, that moto-gel and sealed batteries are sure-nuff the same. He had a
name for them, some honey cone type thing instead of the acid/water sloshing
around. As Captain Morgan (I believe) said recently concerning the merits of
a loose front sprocket, "Where does the truth lay/lie" Confused in Colorado,

Guys (and Gals),
I think it is time as a group us offroad people start really banding
together or the only place we will be able to ride is the super slab. I
saw on NBC News (of coarse) how out in Southern Utah we as a group are
raping and pillaging the land. One teary eyed lady with a butt as big as
Dallas and her token REI hat was describing how we are ruining the sand
dunes in southern Utah. Next Katie Curic and Rosie O'Donnal will have a
million bunny march in Washington and demand that we keep the sand in
Utah clean as........ ah ....... er ........dirt. Maybe Gino is right
about keeping our mufflers quite as a "tweety bird". I have ridden
irresponsibly in the past as has probably all of us. But we really need
to consider if tearing up that neat little hill in front of a bunch of
hikers and mountain bikers with our Big Guns blazing serve our interest
well. One reason I bought the KLR is I can take it to Big Bend National
Park and ride the dirt roads without getting hassled by the rangers. I'd
rather be on my IT Yamaha but you can't ride a bike like that there
anymore. I see the days coming where the only place we might ride dirt
bikes is private land (if that). Comments?
