    Resistence Is Futile!

    If you've never ridden a real sport tourer you dont know what you're missin'... I have and been so spoiled that even when using my XJ as the LD ride..it just could not fill the bill for me. So......

                So Ben when are you going to ride it down to the beach? If you do give me a shout. You have to pass right by here. I'll get the 1100 out and show you the back roads to the water
