Hey Casey Believe it or not that's a relief --- I've been eyeing that thing since it showed up on their web site but never went down to look it over... I was scared it might follow me home, and while I might be pleased what's her name might take a different view... Hope you enjoy lots of good miles;...

Hep! Hep! I want a fun bike

I own a GL1800 and really like it … It’s nice to ride but as motor bikes go it’s a beautifully engineered smooth riding bus. I had a Suzuki V-Strom 650, and it was a fun ride, and if you are young enough it can take you almost anywhere you want to go. But at age seventy itâ€â„...
