Re: [emrat:12147] Help Iron Butt Steve Smith!

The Bonneville is an excellent all-around motorcycle.  I considered it a downgrade when I traded an R1200GS for mine, but I get a lot more use out of it than I was getting out of the BMW.   Part of that may be lifestyle/priority changes, but frankly it's just more fun to ride.

Of course, none of that stopped me buying three additional bikes in the next three years...

It's somewhat surprising that Motorado is doing so well but maybe it shouldn't be.  All those stimulus checks coming in and people looking for a place to spend it I guess!

My BMW has disappeared off the Motorado web page and when I called them last week they had a sale pending so it looks like I may be able to pick up a check on Monday.  That means I'm officially down to one bike and I'll likely stay that way at least until after i retire (tentatively, 4 to 6 years away.)   The Bonnie will be getting a new windscreen but otherwise seems to be doing well as an "all around" motorcycle.  

I did take a "personal day" last week to put a couple hundred miles on the Bonnie.  FWIW Highway 126 from Pine Junction to Deckers was great and almost no traffic.  Gravel in the usual spots near the Cheesman lake trailhead.  

Many of the businesses in Woodland Park remained closed, not sure how they are doing now.  I looked in vain for a mom-and-pop hamburger stand for lunch but couldn't find one and finally settled on Sonic for lunch.

Well I certainly appreciate your efforts, and thanks for giving it a look. I really have enjoyed the bike.

Well I tried to help out, but Motorado took a deposit just 30 minutes before I was able to get there this afternoon. Beautiful bike, hope the new owner enjoys it.
