Reply ----------- Sell the bike in 2 days after arrival.... Any presale efforts underway in local papers? In order to cultivate buyers outside of the list, I would think that some marketing must be initiated locally. This is obvious, of course, but how about seeding the local classified (on-line and print) so that the additonal advertisments begin to run just before you leave. If you have a cellular phone and a non ISP spec e-mail ID listed in the ads reply to fields you could probably work out a potential sale as you ride to New Orleans. And then of course, there is Ebay and other auction sites. Just set your reserve and Buy Now pricing and post w/ a disclaimer that you reserve the right to terminate early as the item is being offered locally. Mike Torst Las Vegas

---reply----------------------- It was not a real request to do the group purchasing The facts were correct. The joke line was the request to acquire the motor and then the forks/triple clamps. Sorry, but I thought the satire was obvious. Ya know, spending many, many $1,000's to build the KLR into a KTM/KLX/KLR/XR/K/F/GS/ etc. maxi bike. My Bad? Mike Torst Las Vegas
