So was I, and its a nice bike, not keen on the loooong pipes but nice none the less.

BTW a Cessna 172 is one of my favorite planes, I learned on a 150/152 so likeing a 172 shouldn't be much of a shocker.

Thanks for the compliment. The 172 is great! The ultimate off-road machine.

I have always thought of a small plane as the ultimate roller coaster. That's why I go visit a buddy of mine (a United Airlines 777 Capt) as often as possable, he's got his own 1949 J-3. It ain't fast, my bike could easily outrun it in level flight, and has no electrical system. But its a blast trying to do what for us is the impossible, make the other guy throw up. I still make him do landings though in stiff crosswinds. Its way to sensitive to the slightest wind gusts for my ham handed approaches.
