I can't speak for you guys. As a KLR dude, motorcyclist, etc., I am a bit of a minimalist, and liking it. During the 80's and 90s I sure saw lots and lots of huge ugly Silverado trucks, Suburbans, etc., usually towing boats and jetskis, with that sticker, and got real sick of it. My opinion of that sentiment hasn't changed yet either, so I offer up this version which is much more refined, and a little more profound, not to mention more true... Better to want what you have, than to have what you want. BBQ Bill always the nonconformist ps. This weekend, starting right now, is the "Redwood Run" in my area....there are about 15,000 dudes and a few women who are riding up 101 on their $20+,000 harleys.....I think a lot of them are the same people who were driving the big black siverado trucks with the skiboats and the "most toys" stickers...willing to pay anything to be cool. I came up behind a bunch of them at lunchtime, through Santa Rosa, which is always extremely heavy traffic, and passed them splitting lanes....they're not confident enought to do that apparently, as they are all in the traffic following the commuter cars, nose to tail, like good elephants (lemmings?). Every year, a few die on this run due to accidents which would have been easily avoided by a focused rider/traffic analyst (what you need to be to survive on a bike for very long). Sorry for ranting.
