Thanks a lot, that is the plan! Can't believe it is 28 degrees right now though. Wish I lived in Florida!

Nice ride, looks almost new. You will get used to life without a oven and coffee pot on your bike. Just kidding man, Gold Wings are cool but you definitely made a good move.

Haha... I know what you mean. Making sharp turns on the Softail is a breeze compared to the freight train I used to ride. LOL. I see you don't have a rack or anything on the back of your bike. Do you use a detachable backrest / rack to bungee things down to?

I throw on a detach sissy bar with a t-bag if I do anything over a couple days.
