    Superb photo of Mammoth Springs complex. Wish I had stopped and walked around it some when I passed thru some years ago. Safe travels.

    Time To Hang It Up

    Your words touch my soul. Every day we get to wake up is a blessing. Best of luck selling your bike to someone who will love it as much as you surely have. Time moves on.
