    i just know that the moment your helmet (or neck) comes down on the windscreen on a get off or whiplash whoop, you'll not think some former KLR rider is judgmental. :hack:nono:lol3

    RAZR, you're right about that. #1, I need to stop riding my GSA like a little dual sport bike and #2, probably won't stop anytime soon so should just take off the wind screen.

    Although I have very quietly gone HOOLIGAN ... been carving some time the last couple of Sundays on this little monster

    Will be on the hunt for a plated dirt bike suited to my oversized body over the next couple weeks.

    This is a quote from the Aviation Safety Bureau.

    "A superior pilot is one who stays out of trouble by using his superior judgement to avoid situations which might require the use of his superior skill."

    If we could all remember this doctors might have to start selling off their vacation homes. :lol3 :freaky

    while i don't plan to crash it has happened... a tip over is not a crash :muutt

    riding past one's skill is where the chance of crashing starts... like trying to keep up with treadless :knary

    some of us are just crazy and will try things only the most skilled rider can do :p3rry

    the best plan is to ride at your comfort level what ever that is :ricky
