275 miles is about as long as I want to ride that old gnarly bike. I'm pretty freaking sore. Feels like I went racing.

I just got back from there. Spent most of the day back and forth between the gun show and the bike show!

Lots more fun at the convention center with the bikes. Ended up with a pair of new glasses and a jacket. Gotta keep the economy movin'...

Wish I could IHOP with y'all tomorrow, but I'll be rushing to church....

Cool beans. Maybe it just needed a good stretch.

I feel for you. I rode Tab's for 30 or 40 minutes. I can't imagine doing a couple hundred miles on one of them. Especially when their set up for the track. OUCH !!

Of course it did, it's one of the best bikes ever made. I went back in for round two and now I regret it, legs, arms, feet all sore. The combination all the walking and swinging my leg over most of the standards and Duel Sports did me under. I'll post pics tomorrow.

I've been home since 6 pm and my... hold on gotta get the door,


sorry it was my butt finally dragging back in.
