Jamie, you are only as old as you feel but when the Rock breaks down, you can feel very old, very quickly.

Flip dear, I am trying at times to cause a joyous grin to appear on your distant face, while hopefully not reading too boring or private or cryptic to the others. Joy is ubiquitous. At least, it's within reach, as long as one wants to reach out for it and/or just SEE it for what it is when it manifests itself, however superficial, illusory, short-lived or futile. Worth being put forward and hopefully shared with others, even worth being blown out of proportion (what dayya think I am trying to tell ya, right now?). Worth something.

By way of contrast, bitterness, (despondancy, resignation, sulkiness, whatever ) is ultimately worthless. And worse yes, it's seemingly contagious.

Cheer up mate! Or pardon me if I have disturbed. Jamie

I'm just fine. Must be the cold weather setting in. I'm not looking forward to being out on the range in zero degree weather teaching the idiots how to drive a truck but it does pay well.

Will be another winter of waxing the hell out of the bikes.

Any ideas on speeding up that train??? Crazy Jack

Jack is there any way you could take the vid and extract each individual frame, print them on sheets of paper and then the faster you fan the sheets, the faster the train goes............................

'ride'in the train, high on cocaine, Casey Jones you'd better watch your speed. Trouble ahead trouble behind............

Scrawny tire

I wonder if it has been detuned so that the rear tire will stick when accelerating in 1st gear?
Being a tall rider I like the idea of longer frame and increased rake angle.
If I trade "up" the first thing I would do is strip it down. Bags, gone, single headlight gone, 400 lbs of muffler, gone. Japanese looking gauge panel, definetly gone. I'm still undecided about the mega-chromed windshield. Oh, and I would have to put the 240 back on.
But still...I can't wait to sit on one!

It looks like the rims have changed. The rim width on the rear is probably less so you most likely can't fit a 240.....
