Hey, you can always tell how much someone enjoys their bike by looking
at how wide the wear patch on that rear tire is, you know? Riding in
the Mojave sound great... and right after that, you make sure to make
it to the Finger Lakes region of NY in the fall and I'll show you some
back country hillside roads that you'll always remember...

i'm 2 hours from vegas and 1 hour from the valley.
i've driven through the finger lakes area, but never ridden.
i'm a ex-pat bostonian amd appreciate the beauty of upstate new york.
back country hillside sounds great.
i ride my thumpers most, so the tires last about a season. love my sr500's.
anyway, come on down.
