tweety found me, klr quirks

Well - as I rolled over 6,000 miles on the odometer on my way home
from the Seattle Tech session, I think the exhaust note known
as "tweety" found me. It's a high-pitched sound that responds to
throttle change - it's gotta be tweety. I'm living w/ it for now.
Also - less than 1 mile from home I was pulled over by one of
Oregon's finest. Headlight out. The fuse blew - and was replaced w/ a
15A that evening.
It seems the KLR is trying to tell me something? From lurking on the
list -these quirks were known expectations, not surprises. Thanks
listers!
I'm giving in to paranoia and will take a quick peek at the idler
shaft lever this weekend.
Heading for Alaska in 23 days! I just finished checking out the
website for the 2002 AlCan5000. Good luck and happy riding to their
first cyclists!! (Skip and Tumu on this list?) I may see you on the
road on your ride out of Whitehorse in late August.
So glad it's summer!

Looks like Tumu has lots of Beemer company. Skip F. used to be a member of
this list a long time ago and now looks like he gone over to the Dark Side.
I can remember him telling the list how he would never have a BMW. Now look
what he is riding. Maybe Mollye got smart and left him her F650.

Best wishes to all participants!

Let's hope that all those Beemers don't fall over at the same time.
Alaska will break apart and sink into the ocean.

Were you riding with Kenda 270's? Any wobble at that speed? What kind of
oil? How did you stop?
