When I was in college I took 100 mile rides about on once/ week. I had about six quad maps spliced together on my wall and had most of the roads committed to memory. Usually on Sundays- when the weather was good. We'd pick a destination, pack a picnic lunch and be on our way. Just me and Baby Doll, cruising along those lonely country roads.

Pounding out the miles on a Bagger isn't too hard. I wouldn't do it at the beginning of the season though. After sitting all winter you do get out of riding condition. Those Geezer Glides are heavy pigs.

Let's see if I can be more clear... The Macan is in the compact SUV class. It shares that classification with other compact SUV's like the Honda CRV, Toyota RAV, Ford Bronco Sport, Jeep Compass, Chevy Equinox, KIA Sportage, Mazda CX5, and others. All "girlie" cars IMO. And I suspect in the opinion of most. e/gear. Hope this clears up my "Opinion" |

I actually looked forward to winter riding here. Because summer is blazing hot sitting on top of that big V-twin. |

Sounds like they took a page out of HP playbook then... HP has(had at least) rf chips in cartridges so you cannot refill them and reinstall. I had to keep 4 cartridges as it stored the last 3 and if it was empty then it refused to see it as full. So I dumped HP printers.

Some of the newer touring sleds have liquid cooled heads. (Mine does) It does cut down on some of that heat at lower speeds. At 70 mph you really can't feel much of it anyway. Can't hear much of the radio either unless you've got it at ear-splitting volume.

Looking at the weather predicted out there, I decided to take the Ranger. Even my winter wheels/ tires on the "sports cah" are way wider than the truck.

In engineering, interpolation is usually permissible, but extrapolation is never allowed. I worked for StateGovCo for a very short time. I was going to quit after 6 months but soldiered through to 11 so I could round up to one year on my resume. Prior to and since then I have been a consultant working for private firms, except for a three year stint as chief engineer for a private contracting firm. |

Will you be able to still bicker with Lars while on your trip? We don't want to miss out. IMO, Lar's opinion of "I have a big truck and a Harley'' shows me he is a victim of successful advertising that makes gullible people spend money. If everybody were like you and I, fixing our own stuff, being self-sufficient, and not living on credit, the country would collapse even faster than it already is. Lars is good people, like most of us here, but does have a few delusions and mis-conceptions that make life interesting. |
