SNS,
Not filling in for the good Pastor, but I do believe he has been frequenting the Barber Motorsports Park and Museum, just outside of Birmingham, Alabama. A world class track and museum that holds a variety of Motorcycle AMA and Car races. Check out their web site. They normally have about 1000 motorcycles on display. Usually they have some sort of history behind them. I'm sure that P.J. can tell you more, but I know we love going there every year for the AMA races.

My RG is the best bike I've ever owned, and I've owned a bunch! I traded a Goldwing in to get this one, and for me there is no comparison. The GW is a great bike, but the RG has a soul.
