Again, I mean no ill intent on my posts, but I seem to irritate some of the good folks on this list. I actually came here to get ride information for your rally and pick up a few tips and make contacts. I can assure you, I am a real individual, not someone posing as someone else (however that is done?).
Thank you for the url, I went to that site to register, but found no means of online registration, surly a Mastercard can be used?
Finally, again, the KLR650 is a fine machine, but it can in no way shape or form hold a candle to the BMW. From what I have read, you spend a great deal of money trying to make your KLR's into BMW wannabes; why not just buy a BMW to start? Just my opinion.

No ill intent??? You have no idea what the folks on this list do or
how they ride and you insist on implying that you (and your bike) are
somehow superior. AND you TRAILER a beemer. I don't know which bmw
list you're on, but the one I'm on would take a dim view of any
perfectly good beemer that is loaded on a trailer without extreme
extenuating circumstances. Having only a week to get from Texas to
Utah? Doesn't sound like much of a hardship to me. But what do I
know? I only rode my CBR600F3 to Las Vegas and back visiting 19
states and 7k miles. I did take longer than a week, though. I plan
on doing a helluva lot more on my new RT.
BTW - BMW took first through fourth at the PD. The first three were
F650s and the fourth an oilhead. Read the stories in the IBMWR list
about adventure touring in Africa using oilhead GSs.

I would think that the all-mightly R1150GS would make much better time solo than loading it onto a tralier and tugging the lump all the way to Moab? oui - non? sorry, just trying to find the logic, and out of curiousity, why do you want to go there anyway, you might dirty your clothes or something else.....like your bike.
Cheers
Carl.

Careful boy, we've got grammar police here, don't you have them in the BMW world, too?> Again, I mean no ill intent on my posts, but I seem to irritate > some of the good folks on this list.
Do you often walk into bars in Texas and slander the regular's pickup trucks? I'd sure like a pic of your mug after that... Where are the bouncers? Can't a girl just enjoy a nice beer at the corner pub without being subjected to this riffraff?> I actually came here to get > ride information for your rally and pick up a few tips and make > contacts.
Dude, you're on aol. Check out the "Switch Screen Name" button.> I can assure you, I am a real individual, not someone > posing as someone else (however that is done?).
Hey man, you wanna pay the extra credit card fee, just go over to http://www.paypal.com, send me $65 via paypal, and I'll make sure you're registered for the rally in Moab.> Thank you for the url, I went to that site to register, but found > no means of online registration, surly a Mastercard can be used?
I've tried to hold candles on my KLR. They keep blowing out... Must be some fancy aerodynamic plastics on your BMW to keep the candles lit... Doesn't it pain you to hear the plastic being hit with gravel as your riding companions roust past you?> Finally, again, the KLR650 is a fine machine, but it can in no > way shape or form hold a candle to the BMW.
Others will cover this point in greater detail than I. Mostly, well, because I can pick up the KLR when I drop it (except when I've just sprained my ankle). The same can not be said for any of the BMW's I've ridden. Too Heavy. And, well, that's where a dual-sport loses in the dirt...> From what I have > read, you spend a great deal of money trying to make your KLR's > into BMW wannabes; why not just buy a BMW to start?
Which you're welcome to. Now buy a round for the house, and we'll all give you a second chance. ---o&>o--- Sarah Barwig sarah@...> Just my opinion.

Um, BD? So, um, yeah, well, ya see, some of us would like to know... Will
you be wearing your crown for MOAB? How about your velvet cape? I'd
personally like to know so that I can make sure to avert my lowly KLR-owning
eyes whilst in your presence... I'd truly hate for you to become angered and
have to show me up on some trail in Utah.

Just for a little perspective....I was on the BMW Airheads list until selling my BMW. You will not find a nicer bunch of people anywhere. When I asked that list about the KLR I had 8 or 9 responses all telling me what a great bike they are. (and they were right) Not one put a plug in for the F650 and a few said I would be crazy to get one with a bike like the KLR available. It's best to remember that the majority of us are just plain bike-crazy regardless of brand and not get baited into responding to this type of post. Just my worthless humble opinion. Joe
