Clubman, Randy and the rest , we all know what living is as there is no pleasure that is not your own pleasure. I for one tend to take things as they come and pay as I go. Once you have owned a bike of such caliber, what it took to get there isn't relevant. I do without cable TV and the latest automobile and maintain a decent collection of bikes and manufacturing machines and eat amazing food. I think you "got it goin on" as they say.
