As much money that I have in my RK, I'm a poster child for loser but someone always has to be number one.

Nice find, good choice on the EVO, these are getting to be classic bikes.
As long as you can hold it up, you are never to old.
I have more friends who have died riding Lazyboys than Harleys.

Thanks to everyone for the kind words. I am working on getting a picture up today or tomorrow. We have had rain everyday and little sun. I want you to see what I am so proud of. Took the seat off yesterday to hook up the battery tender and found a new battery with clean terminals. Today I will remove the heel shifter. I got the spacer yesterday.
The sun is out now so no excuses. I am going to ride down to Key West this afternoon and have a beer at Schooner Wharf.
Hey Spanners, I will have to tell you the story about renting a bike in Christchurch and getting a riding lesson from a few of the locals.

Three Mates in NZ
when I was checking in to the City Center Motel in Christchurch, the owner noticed an Iron Butt tee shirt I was wearing and we immediately started talking motorcycles. He had a brand new BMW 1200 GS. He said he and two Mates were going for a ride the next day, and if I wanted to join them he knew where I could rent a bike. Riding in NZ with three locals.......where do I sign? I rented an 1150 GS, and at eight the next morning I met his friends and we were off. They knew every road that posed a challenge, and they knew how to ride them. I rode my own ride and didn't even try to keep up with them. They were wonderful fun loving guys, and I will never forget them. We had lunch in a small town and ended up getting in 300 miles for the day. I am sure I saw some of the best scenery, and roads, NZ has to offer, and it has plenty. One of the best riding days I can remember. I am forever grateful to those guys for taking a complete stranger on their ride, and giving him a riding lesson to boot. Dinner and wine at Cafe Valentino ended a pretty spectacular day in Christchurch.
