[imperial-4776@webtv.net]

Here in Oregon the snow has started to accumalate. So the top people at Lopsidedhead Inc have been busy working up a plan in our secret labratory which is located just around the corner from 7-11 on State and Lancaster to help riders get out there and ride in any conditions. These should be hitting the market place in about 6 weeks. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DSN_klr650/files/PDRM0002.JPG Technically it should work Someone in Oregon

Hmmm, now I'm thinking of throwing my little snow blower on the front of mine, and a belly blade to clean it off real good. Damn it, the voices are starting again!! Fireman Ed :) A17

What is that device on the front? It looks designed to scoop up something or the other. Strange looking contraption. I want one. It seems a good device to shave-off cactus at their base instead of impaling against them. I'd hone the leading edge nice and sharp and anchor a spike in front of the cross-member to gather up the harvested cacti. Embracing a saguaro or cholla is a terrible idea although it does modify a tourmaster jacket so it acts like one of those high-priced hot-weather jobs. http://www.joerocket.com/cpsracing/product.cfm?products_id=139 Any problems with squirrels jumping in for a ride? -Jim in AZ

Can't nobodi proov I got nun a them there fork sprang barins in my scooter!! Hell, I'm the guy with the KLR that steers right when I hit the front brake at speed with no rear brake applied. Seems like the back brake in conjunction, minimizes the effect. Guess I'll start another thread in a month or so to solve the mystery! Thanks, you guys have been very helpfull,,,,HHHHHAAAAAAAARRRR!!!!!! Rod, hell with this, I'm goin ridin!!
