My old 650 Triumph would pull me and Wendy together on it but on long rides it would get very hot and I could tell it was working hard, we were both over 200 lbs making over 400 lbs on it. We were getting ready to go to Laconia, Nh and I didn't think it was a good idea to load the bike down with gear and us. That prompted us to buy my SM and it did the job very well. Bought her BA the following summer.

I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.
