I take it that you don't use the old fashioned coffee pot on your camping trips eh?

No, but I need to start. I can tolerate the coffee in a tea bag, but not the Nescafe stuff.

Generally when I go camping I strain coffee through my hat. Its just right when there is an oil slick on top and you can chew the last few sips.

That's the way I like my camp coffee, too, Trey.

'Cept I don't strain it at all.

More to chew.....

I like Ducati. I'll bet that costs an arm and a leg.

it's like $13,500 something...when you order it they custom engrave your name on the side of the gas tank along with the # of the bike from off the production line

Yes the level kit was just under 2''. If 'bro lean' = 'rake', then I'd guess I'm up 4'' over stock in front. With the stock rear spring set up that puts me at about 2'' rake. When I load up with camping gear, it gets another inch of rake at least.

Pic's are all here:

They did, it just isn't Ducati. These are Kawasaki KLRs to start with:

DieselBike.net - Military Production Diesel Motorcycles

Check out the twin crank twin:

DieselBike.net - Commercial Diesel Motorcycle Prototypes

Not sure where this is at at present, I didn't go digging much futher.

I recall seeing an article in a bike mag a while back, and the KLR bike was pretty slow.
