If the bike was perfect as it is then there would be *much* less to talk about on groups like this. Riding is great, but when the weather gets bad and you still want to play with a bike you then need something that you can work on. You could get a vintage cycle or you could get a KLR. So, you create a bike that tends to support a large group in a semi-social way and that group starts to attract new members due to the camaraderie of the group and they buy the motorcycle to belong. Hold it, I did not even realize until the end that I could have also been talking about the Harley. Hmm... -- Doug Herr doug@...

Sound like you're going through some sort of withdrawl. Have you considered a long ride? I just finished a brisk but refreshing 33 degree sprint and I only feel half as provocative as before. The other day my best friend stood up for me. Someone said that I wasn't good for sh-t. My friend took my side and asserted that I was. How can you beat a friend like that? I mean it, how can I beat him?

Hi Martin, When I look at the DSN post on Yahoo groups it shows that I posted at 7.45am (#152702) and your reply at 8.33 am (#152704) I therefore think that Yahoo uses your preferences to work out what timezone you are in and display referenced to you. When I have a look at My Account in Yahoo in my Yahoo ID card it shows timezone as +10, allowing for Daylight Savings another + 1, that makes the +11. I rest my case Your email has this as its time (in the source) Date: Sat, 18 Mar 2006 21:33:04 -0000 Now I really think it's time you finished your homework Gavin revmaaatin wrote:
