    I'm so pleased to have seen this video, so thank you for posting it. I decided about a year ago to do at least one thing a day to make someone happy....someone outside of my family...a stranger or someone not well known. I thought I was the only one doing it (naive or what?) and wondered at first if I was just being stupid. Now it's a habit and I just love it! And, as the video says, it's like a big boomerang. Really life enhancing.

    Forwarding the video right now!

                  Bill, you should have photo shopped your bike into that panorama.

                          CZ you stirred up one of my other things I like to do besides ride my XS and that is to ride the rail.I ride every winter somewhere..last year I left Cincinnati via Cardinal to Chicago and then the Empire Builder to Seattle where I stayed at the best motel with a view..

                          And then I took the Coast Starlite to Sacramento where I met a fellow XS rider and he spent two days with me showing me everything around the area.
                          We went to the best places around...

                          But then I took the CZ back to Chicago..

                            And you stirred up one of my memories.
                            We used to raft the Colorado river through Gore pass, which paralleled the rails through there as they headed for Glenwood Springs, Whenever the Zephyr went by, if we weren't engaged in avoiding calamity in a rapid, we would all drop trou and moon the Zephyr while singing Moon River.
                            Peoples reactions are funny.
