Thanks. It was a lot of fun. Mine got "lowered" by putting the cases on it. The downside, as I've discovered, is that the extra weight and lack of aerodynamics decreases gas mileage. Sometimes I can get 230 miles per tank, sometimes closer to 180 or 190. Oh well, I'm still very happy with the bike.


And yes, Fred, we should def do a mid-US camping trip. Meet us in Arkansas next May!
