Subject: [emrat:12557] Happy New Year

I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year, and I hope that we get to have a "normal" year full of riding, socializing, and other assorted fun times. Enjoy the holiday weekend and the football games. 

2020 was such a shitty year, I mean it was so shitty that it even killed Mary Ann on the way out the door! How shitty is that? Totally shitty! 

Be safe my friends, see you next summer.

Re: [emrat:12555] TW200?

If you're looking at an XT225, why not a KLX250S? Better at everything.

Another alternative is the Suzuki Van Van, although they haven't been around too long, and used would pricey.  WKE

Re: [emrat:12553] TW200?

Martin; I recently had a DR200SE.  It is a great off-road bike, but a bit buzzy and slow for street rides.  Was considering a TW200, however they are really pricey, both new and used.  Same for the Super Sherpa (used)  Like the fact that all of these are air-cooled and e-start.  EWB

Dear Google User,
We are writing to let you know that we recently announced new storage policies for Google Accounts using Gmail, Google Drive (including Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drawings, Forms, and Jamboard files) and/or Google Photos that bring us in line with industry practices. Since you have previously used one or more of these products in your Google Account storage, we wanted to tell you about the new policies well before they go into effect on June 1, 2021. Below is a summary of the new policies. Please reference our Help Center article for a complete list of what's changing.
Summary of the new policies (effective June 1, 2021):
If you're inactive for 2 years (24 months) in Gmail, Drive or Photos, we may delete the content in the product(s) in which you're inactive. Google One members who are within their storage quota and in good-standing will not be impacted by this new inactive policy.
If you exceed your storage limit for 2 years, we may delete your content across Gmail, Drive and Photos.
What this means for you:
You won't be impacted by these changes unless you've been inactive or over your storage limit for 2 years. As this policy goes into effect June 1, 2021, the earliest it would be enforced is June 1, 2023.
After June 1, 2021, if you are either inactive or over your storage limit, we will send you email reminders and notifications in advance and prior to deleting any content.
Even if you are either inactive or over your storage limit for one or more of these services and content is deleted, you will still be able to sign in.
Note: The inactivity and over quota storage policies will apply only to consumer users of Google services. Google Workspace, G Suite for Education and G Suite for Nonprofits policies are not changing at this time, and admins should look to the Admin Help center for storage policies related to their subscriptions.
Learn more about how to keep your account active
To learn more about how to remain active with these products, visit this Help Center page.
The Inactive Account Manager can help you manage specific content and notify a trusted contact if you stop using your Google Account for a certain period of time (between 3-18 months). Note: the new 2 year inactive policy will apply regardless of your Inactive Account Manager settings. You can learn more about these changes and ways to manage your or a loved one's account in our Help Center.
Learn how to manage your storage
Learn more about the over quota policy and what counts against storage quota.
You can use the free storage manager in the Google One app and on the web to see how you're using your Google Account storage, and free up space across Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Photos.

Hey Jim,

The BMWs were the big 1200/1250 GSs. My BIL really enjoyed the ride. Please take pics and keep us updated.

I understand your concerns about riding a small bike that far, but it's only a couple of hours. Conversely you're going to be riding a lot more on the dirt, possibly for days on end. I would think that you could overcome the road part easier on a small bike than fighting a bigger bike through tough terrain for days.
