Maybe your shoulda prefaced your post with "2700 miles ....... clockwise"

P.S. if it didnt work I guess Minor Internet Diety will have to suffice until my Internet God Studies conclude, projected time frame circa 2025 or so

as a "little man" I take offense to that.

I ride very little these days. It's a time thing. Before kids, I'd easily put 20K+ miles a year in the Northeast, and from 90-92 I didn't own a car. It was a sportster, a tent and 3 changes of clothes.

Now with 2 pre-teen kids, a mortgage, job that's 6+ days a week and 2 other vehicles that are fun to drive in the good weather I'm lucky to get 2000 miles a year now.

I sold my roadking about a month ago, and bought a softail 2 weeks ago. I don't think I've put 200 miles on the bike since I've bought it. I've had less than an hour free at a time in a couple weeks. Unfortunately the bike sits, but when it does get out I'm instantly reminded why I still own a bike and still ride (even if it's just 2000 miles a year).

So you're saying you do care a little bit?
