    Err...I guess that went right over your head. Those were tears of sorrow and loss, not happiness.

    har har. They're amazing. Great epic country to ride through (65 MPH highway at 9000 feet!) and awesome fly fishing...

    A bit less than 9K ft., overall. Even a few feet short of that the air is pretty thin and the temps on the cool side. 65mph might be a bit too rapid a pace especially if sheep watching, fly fishing or texting below the ton.

    BTW, we got a couple of nice little hills around my hoods too. There were more but one blew its top.

    You are absolutely right. I am hunting for a damaged gas tank and then take it to a body shop to enlarge it. This machine is made to ride, especially with my Russell all Day set.. Stopping for gas every 150 miles is such as waste of a good average speed.

    You are absolutely right. Stopping for gas every 150 miles is a waste of time, kills average speed and such a great bike is made to crush horizons.. I am looking for a damages gas tanks to expand at the local body shop
