[dsn_klr650] does anyone have a parts bike?

[Guest]

saw a blurb about the ama nat'l dual sport series in dirt bike mag. there's a ride at mammoth on 9/23-24 and at angel's camp (west slope sierras, south of sacramento) on 10/7-8. it sounds like kind of a fun way to see some other area, and do some dirt riding with some other folks nearby (always important if you ride a fat pig like a klr). if anyone has done one of these, i'd love to hear about it. if anyone has interest in going to one of these two events (or others in california, i saw one on the website in sylmar), i'd be interested in maybe meeting up and providing mutual moral support. i'll call the angel's camp organizers tomorrow and report on anything interesting i find. -mark weaver

Dale, Did you locate a caliper? I have a damaged but useable one from an A1 I parted out. If your interested, E-mail me off list. Cheers, Steve Pye
