    Well....good thing that doesn't include me...


    Gee, ya 'ole leadwrist... yer gonna have to take it easy on the 'ole girl!

    Glad you made it home safe, and it didn't implode on you on the side of the road. That would've really put a damper on an otherwise great trip!
    Sorry to hear your bike started running rough, hopefully it's something minor.

    How many miles do you figure you have... on this motor?
    '82 XJ1100J Maxim (has been sold.)

    '79 F "Time Machine"... oh yeah, Baby.... (Sold back to Maximan)

      Marty and I were discussing this a couple weeks ago. I've changed odometers a couple times, so I really don't know, but I average @ 25-30k miles a year and I think this is going on the 6th year since rebuild. So.. somewhere between 100k and 180k? lol. Enough to where I think Shinko owes me a thank you note at Christmas...
      Try your hardest to be the kind of person your dog thinks you are.

      You can live to be 100, as long as you give up everything that would make you want to live to be 100!

        Awesome ride report Tod. Too bad I had to be a jackass and break myself the week before we left. LOL. Hopefully next time.

            No DuWayne, Silverback wasn't there so don't get jealous. NH

            I think Tod isn't telling everything. Probably had too many of those fruity drinks with the little umbrella and woke up next to one of the BIG cabana boys.
