i'm here in moab, thanks a zillion to kurt simpson, who loaned me a bike to ride down here. the riding is absolutely fantastic. i've never seen anything like it. majestic scenery, killer trails. i'm going to have to buy a dr350 when i get back, as i can't see myself letting go of kurt's. awesome bike. great combo of power and weight. anyways, back to riding. can't wait to meet more of you. _pete
