Kevin,
If your are senile, then you may want to apply to our forums "Old Geezers Club". You need to be 55 for full membership but we take "Associate Members" who apply before that age. There is no cost but the title of "Old Geezer ClubMember(age)" is one of distinction and honored amount our younger mere mortals.

Well I will have to wait another 5 years but I really appreciate some more
salt in the wound.
Actually though I feel about 30 especially after climbing back into the
saddle of my KLR.
All this over posting in the wrong message. You guys must be bored. I
suggest a long ride on your scooter!

wheelie
I pulled a nice little wheelie yesterday on a ride out to the lake on
the KLR (not as easy to wheelie as some of my lighter dirt bikes). No
fancy clutch work, just rolling and snap the throttle off to compress
the forks, then snap it back on maybe yanking on the bars a little.
Came up pretty good and rode it up a little. I thought I was in
second but tried it a couple more times on the way home to no avail.
Just had about a quarter tank of fuel which helps. Just glad I wasn't
on the Connie as driveshaft bikes can't wheelie. Heh!

If it really is a joke and driveshaft equipped motorcycles cannot
pull a wheelie, can someone explain to me how Charlie Boorman pulled
several wheelies on his big, fully laden BMW GS on the DVD "Long Way
Round"?

Ross,
You GOTTA look REALLY close - his Beemer was converted to CHAIN-DRIVE just so he
COULD do wheelies!!!
