Only the folks here can really appreciate that song that erupts at 4200+RPM in fourth gear chugging through the hills.  Got to hear it for over an hour yesterday and I'm still smiling. Maybe today I'll shift into 5th

I was nearly executed for not posting pics dude.
I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.

Hard to photograph a sound but maybe this will satisfy your needs :-)  I've been unduly hard on the SS tips, tho...  ...so very nice of you to prompt yet another shameless posting of my girl...thanks

My favorite key. I know it well, & play that song as often as possible.
What's 5th for again? Oh yeah - interstates and long downhills to cool the oil down a might

How do you have your front tool bag mounted?

The two tool bag straps around the fork tubes and two zip ties hidden behind the bag to keep it from sliding around. Seems pretty secure after 15K miles.

Ah, come on Keith don't be too miffed. I was on tour over 200 days last year so riding time is a precious commodity

Ed, how many times have I said it. I love that machine, the colors are just perfect together. I'm also glad to see you've been dragging some metal on the ole girl  PS: very familiar with that 4200+ sound and it is music to my ears.

My idea translated to leather by Talishar (Cindy Meyers). I haven't seen her post in quite a while...
