Prolly last post to this thread: got my 500 miles breakiin done with oil change and checkup. Left the next morning for Telluride CO for the Telluride Blues & Brews Fest. Followed the rain all the way here in 50 degree minus wet weather with our tent camp gear loaded. Absolutely worth it.
It was truly a spectacular event. I am fundamentally a Blues Man and it sure is rewarding to ride one's vintge bike through the Arizona and New Mexico high desert into the Colorado San Juan mountains and back with nothing but a smile. Cheers til we meet again.
