Wow, look at the skid marks. I'm pretty sure you don't get them of THAT length at 45mph!

Wow, that guy must have been moving to leave marks like that! That is one of my biggest fears while riding my bike... some a$$h&*( jamming their grill up my rear end. Believe me, I keep a watchful eye out when I am riding, folks in the Dallas area are to caught up in their own little worlds and agendas to give a rats a$$ about little ole me on my KLR. I always wear thick soled shoes in anticipation of kicking the crap out of someones car if the try to change lanes on me, and am always on the lookout for a place to go in case a situation like yours comes up. I wish they would hurry up and ban talking on cell phones while driving, sure would make me a little, very little, more comfortable. I know, not likely they would be able to enforce it anyway. Glad you got to smack the guy... would have been hard to resist. Of course I would have had to ask if he was okay first...

Damn James, fun morning!! Maybe you should have dragged the guy out of the van by his heels down the skid marks. They alway say to rub my cats nose in it when he craps in my house. Dave "James L.

I just wrote the funniest,most witty entry (ever) concerning my shameless visit to the bmw rally on a klr and MT21's.Then I hit 'post' instead of 'send' and -zip.It was gone. It's getting on.I better put away my square eyes and hobble off to a better place. Anyway the gist of it was concerning my revelation about MT21. When I arrived at the rally I checked out the ride boardI saw ''Extremely hazardous-Not for the faint hearted.'A ride in the Savot mt.st. pk.(excellent trails in MASS).I thought it's a bmw rally for ...sake not the Paris-Dakar (forgive the bad pun).Anyway how dangerous can it be at 7am?It turned out to be pretty hard-core,rained out river beds and the like.2-stroke stuff.I had to go back for the Transalp a few times.The klr handled really well and cost a hell of a lot less when you break something,even though I admit to being a little jelous of those 650 single gs(yeah yeah) so next morning I show up and ask to ride.They say"so what do you ride?" I say "a klr"(knowing full well it can handle anything a gs can).They say ok-looking a little sheepish.So three gs,my klr and a Transalp set out to endanger ourselves.I have to say those three gs guys were a laugh.We had a lot of fun on those trails until the Transalp hit a rock.I noticed oil...(remind me to take Transalp off the wish list). So we decide to head back to camp.we have a bite to eat and I start to discuss tires.I'm the new guy trying to make conversation.And I notice the gs have really nice knobbies on them(TKC 80?) and I'm really jelouse with my $38 Duro(which hold it's own mind you).So I ask "how do those handle on the road?"THey all say "oh no we change the wheels later"(which turned out to be a load of boll@x cuz what we did was drink a million beers and do the hot-dog and mustard race and the go-slow and the balloon race and the beer throwing race-it was fun-and they all rode those knobbies all weekend on the roads.) Anyway,when we head back(after ditching the Transalp to the wolves) these three gs cateers proceed to do 100 mph around the twisties on pavement.If knobbies can ride like they were they can take anything.It was a revelation to me.When we'd come up behind a slow car all three would line up in the back window,stand on the footpegs and stare into the car.It was the funniest thing . So thanks Devon and the gs people,as soon as it gets light I'm gonna go out and put on the GNARLIEST,KNOBBIEST,tires I can find and not even be the slightest bit scared on the highway,around a corner,when it's wet,breaking. well maybe a little,but if you wern't scared it wasn't fun
