RE: [ST] Touring Virgin - Suggestions?

Good response, Dunc.  You did forget to advise adding an inexpensive
17mm open/box end wrench to the tool kit.  The one that comes with the
bike won't free the pinch bolt on the swing arm if the chain needs
adjustment on the road.

Also, what about Scotch.  You want him to die of thirst?

Webb Koschene and I are riding out to the Red Rocks Raid in April.
Anyone want to tag along?

Emery, first off, don't over think things.  <major snip>

Most of all, relax and enjoy the ride.  Stay alert, pay attention and
have 
some FUN !!!
After all, if you ain't having fun, what's the point??????

Cheers,
