...and many more!  I'm still waiting for this group to find a place and time for a campfire and some barley therapy. 8-)

BTW - IF you have a Deltran charger then you can leave it plugged in on the bike all the time.  That's the way all my bikes are set.  When I get home after stepping off the bike, the charger goes on.  I have the dongle connected to the battery and tie-wrapped to the frame somewhere closeby for easy access.

Better late than never: Congratulations Sue! It is nice to know that the question of "eternal youth" has been solved  :)

I did a small trip (60 miles) on January 29. which convinced me that the only thing missing on the wh8la2 is a pair of warm handles. They will be installed inside the next few days!

If global warming is more than a hoax, I will be driving the year round as long as the roads are dry. The worst thing of winter is the excessive amount of salt they put into the roads to keep them "black". It is very hard on the aluminum and the chrome mufflers.

greetings from a grey north with spring lurking just around the corner

Trolle, have you checked into getting your next new exhaust system ceramic coated before putting it into use?

So, Trolle is alive and well!!   I figured we hadn't heard from you in such a long time because you were in the midst of a bike trip around the world!  ;)
