Hi, I was carrying a work colleage today on my klr650a13 when I start to listen a strange noise. My id plate was rubbing against the rear tire. Of course it's probably my fault because I had install the plate by using the top hole. Right after that, at home, I checked the rear spring the bolt setting was at maximum and the dial setting was at number 2. Is it normal or am I carrying too big buddy? Andre Roy Montreal

My wife writes romance novels for a living, and all the ladies on her listserve are waiting for May royalty statements and bitching if they aren't here yet. We sound the same way about our Aerostich catalogs. That said, I got mine today. Great stuff. They've even added Beverly Cleary's classic "The Mouse and the Motorcycle" to the list of stuff they sell. One night my dear wife was reading the book to our eldest. She stopped, looked at me, and said, "This book is to blame for all this, I know it." And in that moment, I knew she was right. That was my favorite book as a kid. About a year ago she bought an autographed library catalog card for M&TM for me at a silent auction. My DW is a peach. Off to MSF class all weekend. BTW, I have discovered that a hi-viz Aerostich jacket does more than just protect you from road rash and rain. Whenever non-riders see me wearing or carrying the jacket, they say "Gee, people must see you in that" instead of "Gee, my cousin got hurt real bad on a bike once." Protection from snide remarks; now that's priceless! Ralph Ralph Hanson 1999 KLR 650 rhanson@... http://www.wvu.edu/~journal2
