Wow like those comments...I think the fever is building !

Blackwind I have an old 9.50" lift from an old Honda, can you or anyone else tell me the ground clearance on the BA. If my old one won't work I could sure build one, maybe with some of my scrap lumber. I've always been intrigued by the Scott Oiler but have never ordered one..glad to hear it works.

Guitarted you couldn't be more right about mechanical
failure can and will happen at any time. If anyone wants proof.... take your wife out in a boat when an approaching storm comes up. Not the most pleasant experience.

By the way I'm a firm believer in the midsizes bikes, I guess I'm just to old to understand 2 liter 900lb motorcycles.

Thanks to all for your input and your welcomes.
