True, but it is what it is... Moe's had cheap beer there Saturday night around Midnight compared to the rest of Vegas, and they let me sit there well after closing selling me as many as I wanted before the red eye back.

No where NEAR as good as the Sin City Brewing Co. Classic Irish Dry Stout I was putting away most of the week

I have tried it and its too distracting for me... especially in the woods.

Phil and a few other listen all the time and its doesnt seem to bother them.

We have moved to two way talking on both street and dirt. Now thats awesome. Makes riding a shared experience. Corse some dont like that distraction either...

And its hard to get good ear phones.

Shit, those aren't KLR friendly AT ALL!

I always listen to music, street/dirt/whatevers!!! Depending to what type of music is playing with what type of terrain, it always seems to get me to ride better/faster!!

You can't scale back enough to be a true KLRista.

Definitely Esso. Lived in Germany in the '60's and came back to the 'States and saw similar ads here. Seems like they occasionally corrupted the Deutsch language with something like: "Pack den Tiger in dem Tank..." or something like that... As kids we thought it was pretty funny.
