Good to know, as I am contemplating riding my '05 with 12k on her from Atlanta to Okeechobee in January, and had some quams about the distance on the bike as far as if she would make it o.k.....she will need a new rear tire, and I have discovered evidence of an oil leak from the valve covers. She has a new battery, and a new SS-10 viper windshield. It all depends on the weather now, if it's too cold, I'll have to wimp out. Trailering is just too expensive in a '97 AstroVan...
