Chuck, I'd say anyone that would attempt to provoke a guy on a KLR has it coming. By the way, I've seen my fair share of water under the bridge, and have spent many an hour trying to figure out the antics of the HD types. When you're as old as I am you just chalk those guys up to stupidity. Hey, they guy is just dumb. Sounds to me like he's on the fast track to working his way out of the gene pool anyway. Let him go, just don't let him take you with him. If he rides above his limits, nature will take care of him sooner or later. (Darwin) Harv [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Rev, I think you did a great job. I'm not wired right when it comes to that stuff (and I have no kids) so I would have probably folded his teeth back for him. I have a strict no tolerance policy for that kind of bull shit. I can tell you that as soon as he bumped my tire i would have dismounted my KLR and went mideavel on him. I wish I was with you.

Yesterday I did just that. As I was waiting to bolt across the intersection, a bump came from behind on the back tire, not a steel twisting, bone crunching ordeal, but the kind of bump you would get from a soccer player shooting for the goal. I looked in the mirror and placed squarely behind me was a Levi vested, Nazi helmeted pilot of a HD Fat Boy with a collection of chrome lights lined up across the front of the bike looking like a parade of metallic turtles. I pulled deeply into the crosswalk and motioned to my right to allow my brother biker to pull ahead of the car on our right, so's not to tangle with side mirrors on the green-light launch. Again, Nazi-Fat Boy smacks my back tire with his white walled balloon front roller. I said to myself "Self, what is he wanting? Does he have brake problems? Maybe a little short on the eye sight?" > Light turns green, I slingshot myself across the intersection and ease over to the lane that is NOT disappearing and merging into one. To my surprise Nazi-Fat Boy has the hog at full steam, wanting to go around me in the now single lane with double solid lines to my left (a no passing zone here). I open the KLR up and strike third with a wheel lift. Moving slowly away from the road funnel and the parading turtles. The lanes once again open to two in my direction. By now we are approaching the next traffic light with a string of cars, 80 MPH, Nazi-Fat Boy at my 7 o'clock position. I am getting within the KLR- brake red zone from the cars now sitting in formation ahead. I perform a "wanna-be-stoppie-rear-brake-near-lock-up" maneuver; guide the now 10 MPH KLR between the strings of stopped traffic and glance in the mirror. Nazi-Fat Boy is smoking the locked-up rear balloon in the frozen position, not even daring to split at speed. > > My query I pose to you with the above knowledge: > Did I do wrong by the basic code of this group or riders in general? > I could have caused an accident, but am I responsible for the missing skill set of others on the road? > Or did the Id of that rider, with the Nazi-Fat Boy extension of the lackluster ego and parading chrome turtles, need humbling? > > == > Rev.

you === Snip == Everyone talks a good fight. I think that fisticuffs is always a last resort, and when you don't know what the other guy is packing, why risk it? You did the right thing by avoiding confrontation Rev.. If the guy chose to pursue you aggressively, he asked for whatever he got. If he cornered you, all bets are off, however, and give him a blessed knuckle sandwich. Amen. CA Stu A13

Rev, being as how you are in the line of work to provide peace and not maintain it, I believe you did the right thing. However, I have chosen to maintain peace. So, on the other hand probably would have asked him if he'd seen his parole officer lately, and seen where it went from there. "Swede"

Actually, Ive done both and kick boxing is kinda, (kinda) close. Pit fighting and shoot fighting are closer to street. Too many variables to compare though. I actually hate fighting that is not in the ring, and avoid it at all costs. Tire bumping is a cost to me though. I just wanna ride my KLR and have a good time, lets talk about oil and stuff now.

Be careful, talking about oil can here could lead to a fight, maybe a rumble...

I sent this announcement to Andy Goldfine at Aerostich, and he got a huge kick out of it, even going so far as to say that they might consider making it one of the catalogue's fake items if he could get hold of the author. So drop me a line, anonymous author, if you want to make it into catalogue immortality! Bests, Erik -----Original Message----- From: k650dsn@...

NKLR Aerostich Rider Wearhouse, makers of the Roadcrafter and Darien riding suits, will be unveiling their latest entry into the highly competetive world of riding gear the first of next month. Andy Goldfine joined up with Tim Hicks of Cascade Designs, makers of the world reknown Therma Rest camping pads, to make a new riding suit that will hopefully address the issues of saddle comfort on many of today's sport oriented motorcycles. The Aerostich Roadcrafter Comfort Suit or as Aerostich lovingly calls it, the "Foam Butt" suit, will integrate a specially designed inflatable foam pad into the seat of an Aerostich Roadcrafter suit to give the rider unequalled riding comfort, even on stock saddles. "We hope to steal some potential buyers of new motorcycle seats buy offering them a suit that will give equal comfort over the long haul", said Mr. Goldfine. "If the suit owner has more than one motorcycle, then they will save more money buy not having to buy a seat, such as a Corbin saddle, for each motorcycle". The Therma-Rest pad is sewn into the seat of the Roadcrafter and extends down to mid thigh in the seating area. The pad has the patented dual density foam and air bladder found on all of the Therma Rest camp pads. The seat of the suit is inflated by deploying a long tube from a pocket in the right inner thigh near the crotch of the suit. The rider will have to bend over a bit, but can inflate the seat by blowing into this tube which has a oneway valve. The pad will inflate to a thickness of between 1 to 2 inches depending on how hard the wearer blows. Once inflated, the tube is tucked back into its pouch. A warning label comes with the suit that the rider should never leave his tube dangling when riding. To release the air out of the pad, a valve is placed right at the tail bone in the back of the jacket. Twist the valve and the air will evacuate from the seat pad. Ours made a slight whistling noise, but Aerostich is working on correcting it. To get all of the air out, Aerostich suggests sitting down with the valve open. This produces a bizarre "pooooot" noise, again being corrected by Aerostich. Aerostich will be open this Sunday to take orders for the Roadcrafter Comfort Suit, available in all of the colors the Roadcrafter is currently offered in. They anticipate a heavy number of orders, so if you get the recording, leave a message and they will get back to you.
