Oscar one more question. Did you buy the vent and send it to Freedom or did they buy it? I think you said you found it on Amazon.

Copy that! Thanks for the invite! We were actually talking yesterday about driving her new C8 Corvette convertible down there this year for a visit. We're together 18 years this September & I've never met her folks! Trailered the bike out to Sturgis last summer. My Denali handled it with ease, but it cut my mileage down to 8.7mpg average!

So if we do the trip we'll probably ride down in the vette. It's only got 650 miles on it!

Wait what? 18 years and you've never met her folks. If I was her Dad I would beat your a$$! 😆
