this is why there are many different styles of motorcycles. Redwood and I have toured the country, therefore prefer touring bikes, others like a zipping ride on curving roads.... around town I always like the cx500c we had.

Hey Robin - you helped me out a couple times with questions and maybe a part or two on a project bike over the years.
Hopefully I can swing down your way and say hello before the snow starts flying. IIRC correctly you built a big shop out back?

Nope, still a 20 x 20. The neighbor had a fire and built a new, bigger, building.

The V-Rod is the only Harley I’ve ever found remotely interesting.
