ok check it out, it is a sad truth but I havn't got to ride a tenth of the miles this season as I have the last 3. Between myself & the very few friends with bikes I have our lives & work sceduels have not really let us get any ride time in, between new babies, jobs & people getting married & I myself have been trying to sell me & my wife's 1st home for almost a year now (anybody want to move to waterloo, IL) time & money have not allowed it. my one hard core ride anytime buddy's TL 1000 is broke now, so I'm asking anyone in the area who doesn't mind riding with a guy on a sportster (I'll keep up, I ride with a bunch of rice burners most of the time) if ya wanna go riding, this is driving me nuts I got a lot of goods roads down my way & just as many good watering holes on the way. so I'm saying come on down
