Sorry 'bout the late reply, just pulled in from attending Florida's Coolest Rally near Starke at Camp Blanding, sponsored by the BMWNEF. Cool, frugal rally.

I would appreciate all kudos come as cash, your good check, or PayPal. All are welcomed, encouraged, and appreciated.

My old bod feels like a million, miles that is.

#9334, see ya on the 27th at Sleepy Hollow, hopefully with one of Flowriduh's newly licensed motorcycle operators.

Way2fast, is there a Minnesota contingent coming down for the RWTW this year? Had a blast with y'all last year.  It's the weekend following the Moonshine Run. A perfect opportunity to spend a few days in the mountains before the rally starts.

YaaIdunno......but I'd love come down to the Wolf if I can make it work. If I were to do that, I'd skip the Moonshine. Far as Ken or Gary go, don't know what they might be planning. Now.....dare I say it....if they were going and I could slap my bike on that trailer and fly down, how easy would that be?? Hmmmm

and I swear that at 174,000 all the friction MUST be out of Steve's bike, cus he sure rides it faster than he used to. This coming from the guy who's always following him  :o  Steve

Why, whatever do you mean?

The bike is just a lot more fun with the SiSF cams in it. I like the mid-2/3rd throttle from about 4-7 K. Magical stuff. Plus, I'm getting closer to retirement and the thought of switching jobs is just not in the picture. I don't hafta be quite so anal about my driving record anymore. To borrow from Bugnut, vroom vroom.
