I thought his comments regarding the brakes were interesting. "The rear crossdrilled rotor is almost as big as the front, I've read some other articles about the KLR dogging the brakes but I have yet to experience any type of fade even with two up riding. Some of us can ride, and some can't." "Some of us can ride, and some can't." What ever does he mean ? I have grown to accept the brakes for what they are but I still have some really scary moments swopping between the KLR and my Ninja. The KLR's engine braking is so awesome the brakes become redundant when cruising anyway.

>Has anyone ever seen a poor car dealership owner?

no, but on occasion, they do go out of business. natural selection among the cage st^H^Hdealerships. i think the glitzy image is part of the whole dealership thang, & yes, i think the cage ones tend to make buttloads of money. bike ones, OTOH, are pretty much in it for the love of biking, not for the big payout. i have yet to meet a wealthy m/c shop owner, but i've met quite a few who were just hangin' on. gears, ye wilde ryder -- wallace@... 99 zx-9r "blue bayou" 98 vtr-1000f "stormy" zwallace@... 86 cr-250 "dirt devil" 00 sv-650 "zipper" "& you were using your friends as a berm." -- RP 83 v65 magna "nasty" FoJ#002...AMA#456832...JHLO#002...COP#000...CCS#SW969...Support the RKBA
