Jeff, I have the tools and would be willing to attend. You missed the spring version, but there are several KLR's in the area that could probably justify this. Keep me posted.. ( I broke a rib this past weekend on a little dirt bike, so about all I can do is come and watch... ) Ron in St. Cloud

Well, he didn't classify any responsible people as enemies. He was talking about enemies who ride motorcycles. Clearly stated upfront!. There are indeed people who are enemies of the environment who ride bikes. I'm not one of them. I respect the places I ride. Therefore, I will never cave into the fear baiting that is happening on this list! The moment you fall into the cycle of fear of such nonsense is the moment you start to react violently.
