In any case, I use mine for everything. It is very easy to handle.

Seriously legendzzz, do you even read the comments?

I use mine for all the riding reasons, but mostly for therapy.

Mine is mainly a bar hopper these days... not because it isnt good enough to tour 500 miles a day but more because with my son playing traveling baseball in the summer months I dont have a lot of time for long trips. But when those days are gone that bike will be there... and I love watching and coaching my son... no ride in the world can compete with that.

I use mine to lure the elusive cougars on the summer weekends. It works flawlessly! ; )

I just use mine for beer runs. Sometimes it takes a week of hard riding to find the best beer prices. Bike also make a great leaf blower.

Mine is to constantly remind me that I am in debt because of it.




And to ride anywhere, anytime.
