Well, 90+ will be considerably different than last year's deluge. Don't know if my son "Noah" :wink: will accompany me again Sunday but I'll be there with my 2007 Patrol.

You described your 'on the road' lifestyle with aplomb, I think. You seem to be a throw back to earlier times before wealth and interstates. Before we all 'grew up.'

Old vs New T/A
Jumping of my '89 onto an '06 I felt immediately at home & on a very familiar bike. However, the '06 was, at the time, new and that was the major difference.
