Subject: RE: BS: Words of, like, wisdom, eh???
Some readers may consider such a lifestyle choice as unattainable and, therefore, discard the notion entirely at first glance. However, with the wrong attitude and the right knowledge, this utopian vision can be achieved. Perhaps a few suggestions for consideration by the readers may begin to support the arguement. The following discussion relates just a few suggestions for those in a rural setting in the hopes that these will elicit further suggestions from other readers.

To follow suit, food first. Turn your ATV license plate upside down. This may make the difference of that extra second or two. A burnt fuse is best for cutting power to the rear light, brake light or license plate light as you can simply replace it with a serviceable one when you get back to the pave and you can always thank the wardens who stop you to inform you of the problem: "Hey man. Glad you let me know. I'd'a never noticed." Alternatively, use a stout stick to tear the wires on the lights. Never cut the wires. That's just too suspicious. The stick method is messy and semi-permanent but effective. Mud, of course, is very effective for plates, lights, the whole machine, and even you, but the drawbacks are obvious - rain, chase speed stream and dam crossings, and APB descriptions before you can clean up. Safety first. Always scout the road every night and never ride alone. Use the buddy system so you can split up and cut the odds. I'll stop there for now. Anyone else have any suggestions for safe rural dining ?

Don't get you shorts in a knot. I've never jacked in my life but I know guys who put food on the table this way... and I don't begrudge them one bit. Especially if they invite me for supper.
