    Thinking back... new rider mistakes

    My most embarrassing bone head was coming to a traffic light and forgetting I had my thick tread hiking boots on instead of my usual riding boots and my foot getting stuck on the left peg and toppling over.

    A Cop, Marine and a Sailor.....

    Missing Pannier Chrome Strip

    New seat.. I'm on the Laam..

    Veterans

    Well Uncle Hud, they took the weld off, out of 2 years on her I had 1 1/4 years on the bounding main. It was an old girl but we got around. We had females on it so cruises weren't so bad. It's nice to hear from someone else who experienced her.
