Thanks Folks, appreciate the nice comments about the bike. Yeah, Wolfman, I do put a lot of miles on it. I bought an 05 in 05 and 15 months later I traded for this 07 because the 05 had 34,000 miles. Since I retired I have a new hobbie. I get on the bike and I go get lost, or at least I try to. Don't want to know where I am going or when I might come back home. I have found so many nice people in so many small little towns from the east coast to the west coast. I am slowing down now though, I have only put 13,500 miles on in the last 6 months. I have eaten at a restaurant in Arkansas where there was only 4 tables. The cook and I were the only two there. She fixed me a big thick steak, twice baked potato, hot home made loaf of bread and a salad. We sat there for about 3 hours and talked and when I got ready to leave she said there was no charge for the food. She said it was just nice to have the company. I couldn't believe it and no I did not leave with out leaving her 25 bucks. Met a farmer broke down with his tractor in Missiouri. Stopped to help him. I took him to his barn to get some tools. When we got back to the tractor I stayed and helped him fix the thing. He and his wife fed me dinner and I slept in a spare room in the farm house. We still email.....What a hobbie huh.
