Isn't that why they gated the watershed at Langford? so the kids wouldn't joyride and then dump the junkers in the lake.I seem to remember that...

Probably has a lot to do with it, with a population that size there's bound to be a few idiots.

Dunno about that Jack, I wave to everyone; even a dude on a scooter the other day, why not eh?

As for the KLR love, maybe its because they're cheap? Maybe its because they're simple, easy to work on? Maybe it's because of their range, load, durability or reliability? Maybe its due to the array of farkles? Honestly, not too sure why?

If I didn't have what I have, I'd probably have one, you lucky bastard.

Yep, there's always that. A shame they aren't more expensive really. Kawasaki should raise their prices; fewer of them on the road wouldn't be so bad eh.
