Thanks francophile. Lake Apopka has been pretty much cleaned up. Farming around the immediate shoreline was banned some years ago, and a lot of the goo was dredged out. Believe it or not, they opened a new 11 mile trail around it last year that is a birders paradise. There are now birders excursions booked in to see them as it on the main north south migration route and it can get quite busy especially in winter. I've live here long enough to remember the way it was, and it is nice to see the change. Still plenty of gators though, and it's not unusual to see 13 footers. Thanks for the links to the brochures. My bike is definitely a U-08. Chromed fork, no fenders, light weight (for that time) "special tubing". Weighs in at about 25 pounds. Still have the original seat (too uncomfortable for me) tool kit, mouse trap rack (all sitting in a box in the garage), and generator light which was bought as an add on.
