    Ditto, stay safe and ride like everyone in a cage is out to run you over (better chances that way)...

    We always try to travel the old highways and the lonely roads. Here's a shot of a looooooonnnng piece of pavement somewhere in Wyoming, heading to Yellowstone.

    It works in the opposite way too. There are some folks who have no business being on motorcycles.
    If you can't hear a difference, don't waste your money.

    So very true, there are also a lot of folks who have no business being in a vehicle armed with a cell phone.

    Thanks boston, This is a 01 Road Star that turned 100k. It was a bagger but I decided to go a different way. I haven't ridden her yet like this but she is a softtail and with the spring solo set it shouldn't be a problem...we'll see!

    Dawwwww...yer makin' me blush.
    I have to say, having ridden since I was 11 in some form or another and having owned well over 100 bikes in those 27 years, I have to say that the Multi is the *best* all around bike I have ever ridden.

    I rode a 305 superhawk from Chicago to Los Angeles in 1967 along route 66, rented a hotel room in Huntington Beach, bought a surfbord then went through San Francisco during the summer of love on my way back. Used hose clamps and bailing wire to get by until the next honda shop a few times but it was well worth it.

    Navigating the "attache a file" feature is interesting, perhaps there's an improvement is in our future?

    Anywho, I've had several off-road and enduros along the way. This was my 1st road bike. I clocked 19,000 mile the first year . . .

    Tons-O-Fun . . . I highly recommend exploring the open-road (with caution)

    DAVID R do you still have that bike today thats a nice looking bike there. They made some good bikes back in the day..now they try to make them too Harleyish i think. Not that there not good bikes. But the CB models which i really liked and you still see alot out today still..it seemed with the gas prices going up that people are pulling those vintage bikes out of barns..

    The MV was like a mobile piece of art. Everywhere I went on it, it drew crowds of people with many questions. It was a fun bike, gobs of torque on the low end. That new Gixxer just flies, power throughout every gear. It's can get scary if you don't know what you're doing out there. Definitely gets the blood flowing.

    Nope, the was about 5 bikes back. Now I am relegated to stopping by the Long Beach motorcycle show each year and test riding Harley's. They let you take them out on your own for joy rides.
