I've got The Vintage festival this weekend and will be doing the leaf tour in New England the next week, after the I'm wide open
We need to get in more run before it gets too cold (as in top of Clingmans Dome in June cold) That rides reminds me of Mark Twain saying "The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco"

I love this site and good natured ribbings we can give each other
Rest assured I will not be riding to Starbucks for coffee on the weekends.
I visited one once and my friends rolled their eyes when, after viewing the menu board I asked the "barista" if they had just plain coffee.
I didn't think it was as good as the coffee at McDonald's

I've written a blog post about the GS recently, if anyone is interested they can check it out

It lays down a few objective facts, and I really tried my best to be reasonable in the assessment

It was very well written and very informative, makes me feel more assured I made a good choice with this bike

I think I got a good price in that we were both happy.
I ended up with a bunch of extra parts, a set of street tires, a nice booklet of maps of the best roads in each state, and 2 helmets. I told the seller I didn't need anymore helmets but one of them turned out to be an unused Shuberth XXlarge.
I'll go thru the parts and post the one I don't need and the helmet for sale
