...also completed my 50th trip around the sun today. Kind of excited about the first, the second... not so much.

So my Suzy will be gittin' along a little faster now, eh?

Not much if any, but it will feel like it runs a little looser and accelerates a bit smoother as iit breaks in.

That is assuming that you don't ride it like Grandma all the time so that it never really breaks in.

:cool:

Mmmm....let's see.....10,000 minus 1,000 equals 9,999. :??: :biggrin:

Don't let Dupo handle the donations for the website. He's using that new math.

(I probably won't catch up anyway, my commute is about 12 miles total per day.)

Clicked past 2000 last night on an "excuse" ride. 1000 more and I'll be at the point where I planned to try something bigger.

You're definitely ahead of me now.

And is that plan still in effect? I'm guessing not.

Yeah. I'm not in a hurry, but I definitely want to try something bigger. Something like Dupo's I think. Not sure how to go about "trying" bigger bikes. I have seen ads for renting Harleys but I never looked into it.

If I do decide to buy a bigger one, I'll likely keep the GZ. It's perfect for riding into the office and around town. If the harley rentals are practical (I doubt it) I might just rent one of those when I want to go on a long highway trip.

Rent a big Honda instead so you won't have to keep stopping on the side of the road to pick up the pieces that keep dropping off on a long trip.
