Earlier today



We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.

Wow, that's a lot of miles. How about more details, year and model maybe. Did you have any major failures? And most important what color is the bike, I keep hearing that Blue is the fastest color although my America is red and silver.

Of course it is blue. 2003 America bought new in 2004, no problems that I didn't cause. FREAK kit, increased size jets, TORs, all lights except high beam indicator are LED. Upgraded ignition. Altogether over 200 mods tiny through fairly major. Still at 790 CC.

Gosh, soon you'll be able to advertise it as ' low mileage '....one careful owner.
Seriously though, I'm impressed.

There are plenty of folks out there with more miles. It's not that big a deal, after all, I did it all while sitting on my ass.

I guess it's good to know you didn't have to push it all the way

Given the 8% or so error take comfort that you probably have only 95 K on that ride.
