Dear "Steve", It was very nice meeting you at Moab. Do you have any of those cool Moab 2000 tee shirts left? I'd love an XL or XXL. Regarding the selfish, rude SUV driver: cut and paste all of the responses in this thread, deleting all of the names & addresses, and place the ziplocked document under the windshield wiper blade. If that doesn't scare the wits out of this person, then maybe you _should_ find another job. Good luck, Eric Colorado Springs A13L "Badness"? PS- Mr. CIO, have you forgotten where it is that you have come from? Or was it peachy and all about you your entire pathetic "life"? A little common courtesy goes a long way. Have you been missing your management sensitivity training classes again? The person(s) being offected by your selfishness are very nice people. So please, kind reasonable sir, don't park in the F*&%ING designated motorcycle area with your gas-hogging piece of status symbol.

I made a prediction a few months ago that in within the next few years, dualsport bikes will be increasingly owned by posers, and therefore, DS bikes will become like 2-wheeled SUVs. By the way, I don't think ANY SUV out there can survive what it was originally intended to be used for years ago. All that tough looking stuff, skidplates, roll bars, cow-catchers, lighting cages, etc, is now made of plastic!

I think it's creepy; looks like it should be in one of those lame dark quasi 30's retro futuristic sci-fi flicks like Batman or even worse that STUPID flick, "Dark City" with Kiefer Sutherland. Mark B2 A2
