Don't give up yet, there is still time if I can keep mine on the road. She's got to go in for her 12,000 mile service soon, got a new seat waiting, and back rest is on order. Figured I might as well wait until the back rest comes in, they have to remove the seat anyway, maybe it won't cost to much to have them install it.
We'll work something out, the wife loves to ryde but she also really likes comfort. Gloves are on order, her chaps have been altered, got the face mask and neck thingy, boot socks, lined britches, plenty of sweaters, oh yeah, she has her leather jacket, it's a hell of a lot better than mine. I did order a new jacket from BajaRon, hope to get it soon so we can check out this cooler weather coming this weekend.
Anyway, Rod, we will do something. keep in touch. Don
