----- Original Message ----- From: albatrossklr To: DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, November 11, 2007 5:28 PM Subject: [DSN_KLR650] A Sunday ride on the KLR I'm lucky to live in a part of the country where a person with half-a-mind and a few items of extra gear can ride year round. The "half-a-mind" was something my wife said as I was walking out the door during the AM hours. Somehow I think she meant it in a totally different way than I used it here. So I just said yes to her comment (who knows) and continued to put a few smiles (plagiarized, like the phrase)on the bike while contemplating my nothingness. Traffic was light and the road had enough twisty bits; all-in-all a good ride for a day in the 30's & 40's (0's & 4's). No great revelations, or deep & brilliant thoughts to pass along, just a good ride I decided to pass along while sipping my beer and toasting friends who did not return to ride with me. A hearty salute to all who serve or served, regardless of the branch, regardless of feelings about the current battles or those of my youth. I lift my glass to those who sacrificed over the years. albatross who still hears the songs [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

I was with 1st MarDiv Danang 66-68. I would say the quality of people on this KLR650 site is extreemly high and helpful. Lets all try to stay together and Keep America Strong. I wish I had my KLR in Nam it would have been the perfect vehicle for that country. Regards , SPARKS454. > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] >
