Hello Ottawa Dave
I got past the bike thing many years ago. It took a while to wind up with the vette (the usual Kids, mortgages, college).
I remember the wind on the bikes, it used to beat you up after a short time, rain wasn't much fun either. The vette has solved all those things, its comfy all day long, doesn't mind the wet and has a great heater and air conditioner.... its also great top out and windows down.
