...she seems like a keeper. When my wife wants to save $600, it's for a guitar she doesn't know how to play. Did you buy this bike on vaca in the U.K.? Steering wheel looks like it's on the left?

I actually took her to The Barley House for a lobster BLT, haha. What is this 401 place you speak of? Still on vacation and may ride down that way again.

Right down the road from Seacoast, great food and atmosphere and certainly worth going. If you go during lunch on Thursday or Friday sit at the bar and ask for Gail, she’s the best!...Tell her Bob from Ayer sent ya!
