    I saw it for sale and I was tempted but not ready.

    Yeah I signed up on Saturday when they first opened registration.

    I'll let you know when I'm mobile for sure.

    I'll be staying in the city, but I'm driving and have a flexible schedule.

    I have a 22" head circumference. This puts me on the edge of Small or Medium according to most of the manufacturer's web sites...

    I will definitely stop at Corse on my way down, and then ChicagoCycle and/or the other big stores while I'm there.

    I'm thinking I'm an Arai or Shoei guy...

    Add me to the Yooper list!

    I know Askel and we'll see if he can identify me. I have been riding the UP since I first learned to ride a bike and I am now getting into more offroad riding. I just bought a 2001 KTM 400MXC and will be making it into a nice little trail bike. I also ride a 05 Hammer and do at least 1 long ride a year on it. I don't get paid vacation so trips are usually short and only on weekends.

    I currently live 200ft from the Bill Nichols Route which is MI ORV trail 16. I plan to get out more on my bike this year as gas prices will keep the Jeep sitting in the driveway most of the summer.

    Ok sorry about that,, But I did like the movie and all. I really liked when the dad went for the rifle to shoot the DNR Warden ,,total impulse.

    Does that count for anything?

    Ok, I'm guilty....
    A true Yooper from Kindergarden thru 12th grade, but went in the military and became a troll... Still a Yooper at heart however... Have a bit of family land in Houghton/Hancock area, sadly only get there about once a year, maybe less now with diesel prices... Want to ride the KLR up this summer, might be getting too old to off-road much, but still love the gravel roads and camping off the back of the bike.

    GOD bless the UP eh!
