> Seeing Kurt Simpson at Karaoke night.... you had to be there.
thank you for your discretion...it will be rewarded. Fireball later castigated me for defiling my new H.A.W.G. camelbak by filling it's 100 ounces with Kimberly's Gin and Tonic...
> Watching Mariola and Bogdan work on a bike together =:-o
way back at the campground I heard that Mariola had her hands full of oil and when she asked if someone could help by getting her keys out of her trouser pocket about a dozen guys were trampled in the ensuing stampede...
> Watching Bob Carreras drool as he introduced Ranger Alyssa.
that was nothing you should see what he was like when he met her on the White Rim...(g) Kurt

I put the same cambo on the DSN DR650 project bike and had similar results. Between the two of us we'll have a good basis to check their long term mileage. They're more aggressive than the MT-21's... Kurt

if i might, i'd like to add some memorable moments: - seeing how poorly a klr can go through the sand with the wrong tire pressures - (coming from the flip side of the country) meeting so many really nice, fun, cool people - whiplash walking down main street. wow, they sure do grow pretty women out west - hearing "yeeee-haaa" from (robert) morgan as he climbs some rocks on a cherry old honda trail 90 - realizing we haven't come close to ruining the beauty of this country, yet - the feeling of restoration of faith in how amazingly kind people can be when kurt and kim simpson loan me a bike, let me ride a brand new quota on the street and offroad, treat me like family, then let me drive kim's car to the airport so i wouldn't miss a flight _pete -----Original Message----- From: k650dsn@... To: dsn_klr650@egroups.com Sent: 6/12/00 3:26 PM Subject: [DSN_klr650] Moab Reflections NKLR Now that I've had a day or so to recover from the Utah Get-Together, I thought I'd share my thoughts on the event. First, thanks go to all those that attended. It would be pretty boring if it were just Fred, Bob Carreras and I. Special thanks go to Fred for the support he provides in getting the logistics of the event in order. Also thanks to Bob Carreras for being trail boss and getting everyone to pitch in and help get the rides going. Kurt Simpson deserves thanks also for the use of his PA system which made the event much more pleasant. Final tally had 123 bikes and 129 participants. We had riders from Canada and Mexico and as far away as Miami, FL. KLR650's still ruled the roost, but Honda, Suzuki, Husaberg, KTM, Moto Guzzi, BMW, Yamaha were also present. Memorable Momments (in no particular order): Meeting the famous Redondo Ron Seeing Kurt Simpson at Karaoke night.... you had to be there. Taking a long nap in the tall, cool grass at Warren lake. Discovering how well a KLR can go through sand when equipped with the right tires. Listening to the beautiful music of Beth Cook-Verne as it softly echoed through the twighlight in Old City Park. Meeting all of the new folks and catching up with the veteran rally goers. Watching Mariola and Bogdan work on a bike together =:-o Having a Moab Diner Breakfast Burrito and coffee every morning with the early birds. Watching Bob Carreras drool as he introduced Ranger Alyssa. More to come....... Gino ------------------------------------------------------------------------ LOW RATE, NO WAIT!

Did you ride them on the highway too? How do they do there, and how are they holding up? Jeff

They are squirmy on the highway and I haven't had them long enough to get any indication on wear. I run them with 20psi front, 24psi back. The sidewall is extremely stiff... to the point where air almost seems optional. I'll keep the list posted on their wear. Gino
