Ha ha!  Glad you liked it!

That is so unbelievable!  Small world is right!  Damn, that story about the 
guy falling off, then meeting him at another dealer is a freakin' RIOT! :)  
Now THAT made me laugh!

>"How much of ride did you folks do?" He

>SEVENTY or EIGHY miles!" Wow. So the hook was baited, he bit. He asked me

>My son piped right up. "We rode 275 miles, had lunch up in Vermont, some

HAHAHAAH!!!  That is SO true!  The above holds true with squids, too.  I was 
at a hod dog stand down at the end of the penninsula in Hull at Nantasket 
Beach yesterday, and this kid comes up to me.  He said the same "Nice 
day..." chat, and he talked about how many miles he put on.  He's like "Man, 
50 miles has me so wiped out."  I mentioned that I had my Sprint ST for only 
3 days, didn't go over 3500 RPM, and put 250+ miles on it just cruising 
around side streets.  His jaw dropped as well. :)  I also love that fact 
that I no longer suffer from tired wrists and arms!!! :)  YYYEEEAAAHHH!!!

>P.S. - Scott, get out and meet some other Triumph riders today. Meeting at

Damn!  I wish I had seen that email earlier!  Sorry I missed it!  Perhaps we 
could get together next weekend for a ride?  I got to join the Triumph gang 
now! :)  I'm going to swing by Sean Ford's house for a bit to see how he's 
doing.

Ken, you and Sean have been very instrumental in having me switch to 
Triumph, and I bow my head to you both!  "I'M NOT WORTHY!".  I'm looking 
forward to meeting you too!  Tell you what:  When we meet, lunch or dinner 
is on me.  Sound cool?

Have a great day of riding, and sorry I missed you all!  Next weekend??? :P
