Thanx for the kind words and to the folks not liking the deal, go do your thing and I'll leave you alone.
I lived off a motorcycle that wasn't more than sticks and a motor when I was younger. Travelled alot and had what I needed for living, comfort and maintenance. These days, I don't need to pack half the crap I carried around back then, so taking things with me isn't as much of a consideration. Saddlebags and some straps. I'm not in the loafers-to-the-antique-store throttle-tuning crowd. Thanx for the input, though.
The "other bike" is a Honda Fury ridden by my best friend, Bear. He takes alot of crap for running a car tire from folks who don't know what they're talking about, but he rides every day. That's no garage queen image trophy. He likes it and that's all that matters. We're aping it when we sort out the instrument pod.
For me, I'm going to swap the bars to something normal and chrome (18"), swap the pipes, throw +4" tubes on it and get back in the zone when I ride.
To each his own. 8)

Me too. Traveled without much more than a sleeping bag, a tarp, a flashlight, a bar of soap, and a couple of large garbage bags for leg coverings if it got really wet and cold.

I don't care how many of what type of bike there are on the road that makes a certain kind seem common. I don't ride relative to anyone else. There's only one bike on the planet. Mine. 8)
