Go ahead and join GWRRA, get the obligatory headsets and matching helmets, Gerbing jackets, etc., mount a stuffed animal on the trunk rack and hit the road. Bushtec makes the best trailer. Oh, and don't forget to start accumulating chrome. 40 pounds is the minimum. We'll see you at Cracker Barrel.

If I can find it, I'll post a link to an audio link for your CD/tape player. It makes real motorcycle sounds . And there's another company that makes a bolt-on dummy kick starter that's always good for a laugh with the geriatric set.

Just having a little fun, here. As a former GL rider, they really are good bikes for the long haul, but they're too insulated (from the motorcycle experience) for everyday use. After our 100+ ride Thursday, my wife made a "We need another GL" comment herself. She used to nap on ours or read a book (the left saddlebag was her library). So I may be facing the same dilemma soon.
