NOT TO MENTION that I believe he has double that between the three. Actually, I think it's even more than that! And he EVEN has a wife! 
And you may see me tonight

It's strange to see the trip odometer recording mileage above the main odometer. More so as the 00000.0 reading is left behind. Back when Vera was young, notice the oem rear tire (bridgestone Exedra G546)

now you can sell it as practically new! 
Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

Knowing Jim, his love for this motorcycle and the open road, I offer the following in salute...
We'll see this again Don't know where, don't know when But I know we'll see this again Some sunny day

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

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.
