Too cold to ride here in northern Illinois. Nice to hear someone else is out having fun.

That's one of my projects is to have a bad motor scooter just like that. Not to abuse it just to know it's there.

Coming home Saturday evening I ran up on a couple of guys puttin down the interstate, when I passed them the one on a FLSTC decided to hammer down... Needless to say about the time I hit 115 he was not in my rear view mirrors.
After I pulled off on an exit ramp he came up beside me on his 105th FLSTC, said he would like another chance!
I said sure how about $20. on a third gear roll-on. He said no thanks and pulled into a gas station.
