New To TWTEX
Greetings everyone. New to the forum, after repeated encouragement to sign up by an existing member, I did. Glad to be here and look forward to getting involved with fellow riders. Only been in TX for 1 year.

Currently on a KLR 650, have only been riding a very few years, I think only 2 years. The KLR is my first bike. I did recently sell a wonderful BMW R1150GSA. What a great motorycle, too big for me though, bummer. Again, great to be here, look forward to participating.

Sincerley,

2RedDogs

P.S. If anyone knows of a good deal on some OE passenger peg brackets for an r1150GS, I need both the right and left. The buyer of my GSA did not want my Jesse Luggage system and I forgot to get the peg brackets. Dang it! So, if I get OE's then I can ask him for the Jesse brackets back. Please help.

Glad to see you stick your head in!



Re: the brackets, ping the site BeemerBoneyard. They might have an inexpensive set of take-offs. Or call Robert over at Lonestar BMW. They've got lots of 'stuff' sitting around.

Quote:
Lies are fragile. They require constant attentiveness to keep them alive. The exposure of a single truth can rip through an ocean of lies, evaporating it instantly. - Brandon Smith

If you want government to intervene domestically, you’re a liberal. If you want government to intervene overseas, you’re a conservative. If you want government to intervene everywhere, you’re a moderate. If you don’t want government to intervene anywhere, you’re an extremist. — Joe Sobran

It is no crime to be ignorant of economics, which is, after all, a specialized discipline and one that most people consider to be a ‘dismal science.' But it is totally irresponsible to have a loud and vociferous opinion on economic subjects while remaining in this state of ignorance. – Murray N. Rothbard

When one possessed of the Truth suffers from a heavy heart he is susceptible to a more dangerous affliction — the craving for power to eradicate error, to cause Truth to triumph by force. - Frank Chodorov

Where politicians flourish, long history has harshly taught us, people and their liberty wither. Where the state is god and the "public interest" worshipped, individual man will be found bleeding upon the altar. - Karl Hess

The accepted wisdom is that without the state, society would collapse into lawlessness and crime. In fact, lawlessness and crime define the very nature of the state and the society organized by it. - Bionic Mosquito

But the myth of the rule of law does more than render the people submissive to state authority; it also turns them into the state's accomplices in the exercise of its power. For people who would ordinarily consider it a great evil to deprive individuals of their rights or oppress politically powerless minority groups will respond with patriotic fervor when these same actions are described as upholding the rule of law. - John Hasnas
