Hey people were just asking what happened to you. Good to know you are still around. You should come to the rally in Kentucky in June.

Ferret was one of the three that were asking about you, Mike. I was the other one. OK, so there were only 2 -- thought 3 sounded more significant.
Cool vid, too. Thanks for posting it. I think we should ride together sometime.

That bike is so BIG. It's inconceivable to me to even consider something that ponderous.
The CB1100 is as big as I would go, that's my limit.
Between that and the new Yamaha, and BMW's 1600, there are some fantastic touring bikes out there.
Think maybe I'll plan a tour on my Wolf Classic 150. At least I can kick start it if the battery dies.

Good grief the way you guys ride those aircraft carriers scares the crap out of me. Rather drag my knee at 100 mph in Turn 2 over to Willow Springs. Wow.
Honestly it is a style of riding about which I know absolutely nothing. Terrifying! Absolutely contrary to all my instincts. And Heaven forbid one gets offline at any point. The precision necessary is just astonishing.

I think there was a compliment or two within the last post...sort of like the compliment that's in "Hey, your wife dances pretty well for someone her size" LOL

Now that is my kind of road: hilly, curvy, scenic, and empty.
The Goldwing has a very low center of gravity because the fuel tank is actually under the seat, and the flat 6-cylinder engine is slung low in the frame. Add a silky smooth engine and transmission, and it is not hard to learn to sweep gracefully through the corners. Especially if you have a ride critic sitting in the back of the sofa.

Hey there memphismike, the audio quality in your video is amazing (nice video by the way). What is your setup (microphone type, how it's mounted, etc..)?

Ulvetanna, you've got to explain yourself here as I really have no clue what you're talking about.
