Petey glad you made it and hope that everyone else is successful in getting home with no problems. I think that I am going to take the KLR to Glacier, Banff, and other places in that neighborhood next month. It won't be our Alaska trip but will have to do until next year. I'll talke to you...

Not to be confused with leper colony. :lol: Bikes come and go but friendships, hopefully, remain. Smitty has gone through 3 or 4 FJR's and I totaled mine back in May and will most likely get a different one this time around but the guys and gals here are still the same. Smitty it was good to...

Skooter, I am very glad that you are OK. Crashing really isn't all that great a way to spend the afternoon or to sell your bike. Be careful. If nothing else you are needed for comic relief. Chester

My big tractor is a John Deere with two large batteries to start it. I have always used one battery tender on it and have noticed no problems. They are matched batteries though so that might make a difference if one was a large and one small, one no maintenance and one maintenance, etc. As to...

Tom I too just now found out about this. I remember last year when we were getting ready to go to the 'EOM and we were planning the ride. It was going to be myself, Smitty141, St. Louis FJR, Petey, and ZZZip and someone had said to see if you wanted to join us. When we placed your name in our...

I have an 02 and an 08 KLR. Luckily I bought the extended warranty with the 02 and at about 10,000 miles it paid for itself. However, KLR's in general are pretty bullet proof. I am not sure that I am going to get the warranty on the 08. You do have one year in which to decide. Keep a good eye...

Ahhhh, Smitty and his love affairs. You just can't keep up with the boy. Looks like he will have it next weekend with any luck. Best wishes on your new ride. Chester

Official - insurance compay just called - bike totalled.

One thing that I forgot to mention the doctor to my roommate D - you don't have very many of your teeth do you? I guess that it helps get down into those grooves on the neckbones. See you guys Chester

Sorry to be so late in getting back to you all but I fel like I 've beed eaten by a bobcat and **** off a cliff. And then to top it off when I came to I found out I was accountant. Some damn nightmares are just too real. First, I can't even begin to thank those who assisted in my recovery in...

Weather is looking great. I should be there by mid-afternoon Friday but will be by myself. Local bud has to work and can't get away until too late. Will be on the FJR this time but hopefully will have a new 990 KTM to ride with the KTM Smitten one the next time. This is going to be a great...

Dave I am going to put barbed wire around them. Of course, now that you are an old married guy with a kid I will probably be waiting on you the whole damned day. The steak sounds great. My friend's bike is in the shop and is supposed to be ready Fri. but may not be able to leave work until...

So, is the madman bringing his Rocket Plane or Rocket Bike? There is a good chance that a friend of mine from KC will be coming. Chester

Weather permitting, I should be there. The next weekend, the 25th, Petey and I are leaving for Alaska on our KLR's. I stayed at the Red Roof Inn and although not fancy it was adequate for the price, besides that, your not buying the place. St. LouisFJR, (Steve) might have an interest, this is...

Petey and I are going to Alaska on our KLR650's, leaving the FJR's for other trips. He is leaving Oklahoma and coming up to Kansas City on the 24th of May, leaving Kansas City Sunday morning the 25th. If the roads are open we are going through Glacier Ntl Park and then heading up to Banff. About...

So, when I pull up on my Honda Dream 90 you guys aren't going to ridicule me are you? :yahoo: On the way back from CFO 05 I stopped in central Iowa and some gap toothed moron said to me " I thought guys your age (I was 57) rode Harley's." I just laughed at him and walked away, he was too...

Congratulations on a sucessful trip. Don't forget to tell them about the portable car wash guys. Encore, Encore Welcome home, now get us some treats. Rocky, Petey, and Norman (aka the mutts in the trunk)

He should be getting home within the next half hour. Spoke to him an hour or so ago and he had about 115 miles to go. Chester

Crack me up! I had a best friend who unfortunately died at 31 from kidney failure. He had a transplant and it lasted 10 years but he always had a sense of humor and never went around "Oh woe is me" Sounds like you Andre, are the same kind of guy. I am sure that your friends and family feel very...

I'm there. I stayed at the Red Cedar last November when Smitty and I did the Dual Sport thing. The rooms are $20 or so cheaper a night than the Super 8 and while not as fancy were perfectly adequate. I will stay there again. This is a ride that you guys with a DS need to make. When he and I...
