Mark,
I ride the '05 Thruxton quite a bit. I tour on it and it helps my joints better than anything else. Feel great when I get off.
I have 15 years on you.
The new 1400 Cali Custom was under my ass most of last year. I have a tendency to push the Thruxton pretty hard....it is so easy to do.
I am hot to trot on a new Indian, Polaris did a hell of a job. 27 months developing it. The new Scout will be a game changer. I like the Scout , but will not have one.
The best way to use fossil fuel is in an air-cooled engine.
Still looking for a scabbard for the Guzzi Stone.
A few more pics, don't know what they are just some chit on my desk top, lucky I can do that.
Good Luck to you.
Best,
Chuck
