Probably should seek an aftermarket > solution... Aftermarket solution was readily available: plenty of friends. BTW, for the rec.motorcycle old-timers, the guy commenting on how lucky I was is Todd Blakowiak (aka Todd Unpronouncible, aka Toddler on ADV). Todd was the guy who crashed my brand new ATK for my at the '99 Spodefest in Divide. My poor KTM has only been ridden once this year. I've just been too busy & needed to get the DRZ dialed in before the MOAR. I expect to remedy this problem in 9 days, 20 hours, 19 minutes, and 27 seconds (+/- 4 hours). -Jeff-

I got passed by a guy riding an old XL600 while riding about 90% on my 2000 GasGas. I was very impressed and humbled. The trail at the time of the passing was not too difficult, but the guy rode that bike for more than it was worth. Mike Baxter
