We did the 2up-dirty, and swapped positions a few times, but ended up just getting my own,



And in the spirit of the thread and stupid rides-

Is that snow pic recent? It was 80 degrees here on Saturday. From a group ride this past weekend exploring some of Alabama's Civil War History...

Hard roads to Get through. Did a little sight seeing during one of my trips to Americade. We had some very serious weather problems in March and many roads were still not passable.

That snow pic above is a few years old. Over the years I have found lots of things that stop forward motion.

Looks like you're having fun; the new touring chassis works pretty good with a competent rider at the controls.
