ROTFLMAO... That very thing happened to me while I was changing a tire at a campground once.

I've been looking for something similar for my television. Turning up the "brightness" doesn't seem to help. (Thanks to Gallagher for that one...)

If those are your primary concerns, I'd keeeeep walkin'. (You mean "how far up" or "how far along?" For the latter, I suppose that if a bike can wheelie in the first place, how long it continues to do so is more a function of skill.) Krokko -- Dr. J.

Hello All, After a fairly long hiatus, I am glad to be able to revisit the awesome KLR group. Look forward to an intersting and informative foray. Query: Did the Lazer Pro Duro exhaust ever get USFS spark arrestor certification? If so, is the muffler fully mechanical? IE; no repacking required? If nay, anyone know if certification is in the works? Also, anyone know the db output of this muffler per accepted testing method? Query: May I ask what are riders current views on the best road going knobbie currently out there? I do ride pavement. Yet, a lot of my time is spent on dirt roads, callichi, gravel, clay, and large grain sand. I've found the Pirelli M-70 to be an awesome tire in most normal environments but it doesn't grip as much as I'd like in the aforementioned scenarios. I fully understand knobs cannot compete with street tires for mileage, yet I would like to get reasonable mileage with good dirt grip and decent road action as well. If that is currently possible. Please share your feelings on your best choices, and why you selected them. Direct e-mail is fine. Thanks a bunch. Have a great day. Jim
