Motorcycles keep me out and about. If it wasn't for bikes, I'd be a home-body sure 'nuff. I still have the Bonneville also, but it was getting to be a chore to ride. lol,..as age creeps up on me, I find myself buying less and less radical 2 wheeled vehicles. I've gone from a Ducati to a Triumph Sprint to a Bonneville to a Burgman. I could have bought a big cruiser and got the comfort factor, but I've never really like overly heavy machines,..and the auto transmission on the Burger is a nice feature. Besides,..it's much quicker than most of the big cruiser bikes.

The G'boro show yesterday (this is THE big one in NC every year) was very light in attendance compared to the last few years; prices were down, and still not much was moving.

Quote Volumes are insufficient to describe the horror, misery and desolation, awaiting the people at large in the Syren form of American independence. In short, I affirm that it would be most excellent policy in those who wish for TRUE LIBERTY to submit by an advantageous reconciliation to the authority of Great Britain; "to accomplish in the long run, what they cannot do by hypocrisy, fraud and force in the short one".
