idling revs for a klr 650 (1989)

[jim reinhart]

No Rick ...thanks for the Park link. It was hysterical. Wish they would doo one on KLRistas or BMWers. FUNNY is good. CaStu's was about the only funny response I remember! IMHO

Pissing on the electric fence as a kid is the right of passage for many trouble shooters I've known. Though I pass at doing the same to a lawn mower's spark plug while running. But seeing it done was about the funniest thing I EVER saw!!! Besides doing that once (or twice just to verify) is a surefire way to get you to practice the first two ways of learning. I do believe that fence in Benton La. was my first stimulas at learning electrickery. Cuz the field/woods over on the other side was where I wanted to go. And as I found not all cows very friendly... But boy could I run...

You know - this is a FUNNY statement! In all my reading on the matter, it seems that we ALL have a common ancestor in "Lucy", from Africa millions of years ago, who, I'm SURE, was dark-skinned (or black, or negroid, if you prefer), so - "White Supremacist" - kind of an oxymoron.... It's WHO you are, NOT the color of your skin! My .02$ Ed

Thank you for articulating many of my thoughts. Jeeze . . . It hasn't even gotten beyond 'Chilly' yet, and the 'Cabin Fever' messages have started already. I got a feeling this is going to be a LONG Winter !!

Dude, I've seen reports that dinosaurs and man walked together. I've heard that man has never been to the moon; that it was a government plot. I met a guy that told me he had heard that aliens had anal probed his neighbor. Some say Obama is not native born, and others claim he is an terrorist, or a Muslim. However even a paragon of investigative reporting like Fox News has, despite extensive efforts, has been unable to produce any proof of these facts. Obama is Black, and for many that s all they need to justify their rants and hallucinations. The rest of the many unsupported observations spread by people with strong opinions, prejudices, or a political agenda, with no attempt to actually verify their baseless claims, is as a fine Southerner once observed "a tale. Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. .... As a veteran, I suggest that, we try to show some respect for our Comander in Chief, and do our best to act more responsibly when we take advantage of our hard-won freedom of speech.

Well, that's half right. It was a William, but not a Brit. He was from Oxford, Mississippi. William Faulkner, hard to read but well worth the effort. Ken

Actually, it WAS Shakespeare, Macbeth, Act V, Scene 5 (originally intended to apply to unmuffled Harleys). The Faulkner title is a reference.

Must be this part: Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more: it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. (and we're really off on a tangent now!) Jud wrote:

Stu- Actually, within the last year there was an EBay KLR (NY, NY) with a 'Screaming Eagle' pipe on it. By the picture, it was just what you described: a straight pipe, uh, chromed straight pipe. I believe it had a video link so you could hear it as well. Seems to me the author described it as a 'bitchin-sound'. Bitchin? Hmmm. Is that a good thing? smile. It would have been hideous good fun as a 1970 teenager. During that same time period, it seems to me there was a BSA500 in my home town that was set up the same way--500cc with a straight pipe. 1970: Hideous good fun. Now-- 40 years later, it is just hideous noise. I doubt the 55 year old crowd (in 1970) appreciated it then either. Probably they would have (rightly) been bitchin about the noise. revmaaatin.
