Oh man... What a great welcome. Very cool and appreciate all the input. Selling my Electra Straight 8 tomorrow then off to take the roadie plunge. Have to trim the stable or she won't feed me
Jppe - looks like you're in Carolina. Spent this week all over eastern NC on business. Holy crap this is a big ole state with NO straight roads. Fly home in an hour. Hoping for good riding weather in Colorado tomorrow.
I live in Loveland... Shout out to the brothers in CO! 22 years here.
