I've bought several items from them - highly recommend them. Their prices are fair (excellent on the closeouts as you noted) and they are friendly, shipping is fast.

Hey Steve, The jacket I had towards the end of last summer was from there. Fast shipping. Never had to deal with anyone because it was purchased online (if i remember correctly) IMO it was quite a good jacket for the price I paid for it. You must have been talking to Bill have you, he just ordered one I think. I will miss the back roads up there this summer. If you ever come down this way stop in and see me. Dave A16, A18 Labrador

Good folks to do business with. Greg

Last week I purchased a Hein Gericke Tuareg "El Chott" 3/4 length textile jacket from New Enough. Looks like an old Paris-Dakar style jacket, perfect for dual sport riding. The original list MSRP on these were $350. The jackets were thought to have been sold out 2 years ago, but Fairchild (the US distributor of HG) just found a bunch of them sitting in boxes in the warehouse. New Enough bought the whole batch and is selling them of at $99 each. Only Medium and Large sizes are available. The jacket is 500 denier Cordura with a waterproof Shel-Tex inner membrane and a removable Thermolite liner. Has CE approved Core-Comp armor, and is really good looking in a khaki and blue color scheme. I rode in lght rain in elevations up to 4,000 feet last weekend and stayed warm and dry. Only downside seems to be the very limited venting. I love this jacket and have actually thought of getting a second one for when the first wears out! Standard disclaimer here---I have no association with New Enough, but have had good experiences as a customer on several purchases from them. I just wanted to pass on to the list the info on these Hein Gericke jackets because they seem to fit the KLR ethos so well--- a great functional piece of kit, perfect for dual sport riding, at a really cheap price! http://www.newenough.com/hein_gericke_el_chott_jacket_page.htm Bob Fresno, CA A17 --- In DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com, "Greg Roberts" wrote:

Sure, here goes.

Well, I learned that at least part of it is still working in this situation. Like Pat pointed out, Kawasaki has a dedicated part of the system to just the ignition. That's really cool. I mean look at our friend John. His battery was dead when he left. Didn't stop him from having fun putting hundreds of miles on his bike in a few days anyway.

Motor is still turning the part that is working and producing juice to keep going.

Myself, and others, are betting on a wire problem. Hey, John's bike has close to 70,000 miles. Wires are bound to have rubbed long enough to have some problems now.

Yes, as long as the dedicated ignition coil and related parts are all working properly. Of course you won't want to go anywhere in the dark. MrMoose A8 (Barbie and Ken special)
