                  Cheers @davidknighthb

                  I've been searching for a pre 90, and it seems so few of them are about. Having said that, I am in the UK and probably looking in the wrong places…

                  Love the patina on yours, it looks ace fella!

                      Great idea Giles, and thanks for the link! Not as expensive as I had imagined.

                              @GC Yeah not too bad to ship over seas. Plenty of 1980-1984 for sale for cheap if your looking for a shovelhead. I don't see too many pre '90's evo motors but when they come up they are usually not too expensive as well. Good luck hunting'!

                                  I don’t have a mc anymore, though I still have the endorsement on my drivers license. Just thought I would share a story about a very lucky guy…
                                  Yesterday I climbed Mount Neva...

                                  From the summit looking back at the route.
                                  I took Lefthand Canyon down to get home. When I had an mc, it was one of my favorites to ride, though I’d say it’s not for the inexperienced. Lots of tight turns, and it’s tempting to go too fast. I saw some riders approaching from behind, so I pulled over, stuck my hand out of the window, and waved at them to go by. They’ll be going faster than me and I know it can suck to get stuck behind a car here.
                                  So they pass going into a tight left hand turn. Guy in front was fine, but I watched in horror as guy two entered too tight and then went wide, crossing the white line and going into the guard rail. He fortunately laid it down and lowsided vs highside- that could’ve been a lot worse. There’s a fast flowing creek on the other side of the rail.
                                  He got up right away and lost a little skin, but was otherwise uninjured. Guy one came back and said guy two had only been riding 2-3 weeks. Both had helmets but no other gear. I gave him a ride down the canyon as we couldn’t get cell reception up there. I hope he concluded his day by buying a lottery ticket! Phew!
                                  But if he had been injured, he probably had the best person in me to be right there. I had my inreach, a satellite communication device, and could’ve called for help immediately. I am also CPR certified and work in public safety, so setting up incident command and directing responders in is literally my job.
                                  Anyway, just wanted to share. Be safe out there all. If he had been wearing gear, he would have had no injuries at all. But this also could’ve been way worse. In my general experience, motorcyclists usually do not walk away uninjured.

                                      Definitely agree. I always wore everything all the time, even if the ride was shorter than the time to put it all on. You never know.

                                          Oh yeah I also have this little guy:

                                          I'm a fan of small displacement bikes. Although I am interested in the Tenere 700 for some long distance adventure rides.
