    Nice place for $159,900 (115,840 USD).

    Cozy little spot. With a garage and a shed.

    Right?

    And then after poor burning performance, blamed it on the stove and kept crying about it hoping someone would gift another section of class A pipe?

    Oh wait, that was someone else! :rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol:

    I was planning on retiring when I was 62. Some unexpected money(enough to cover about a year's expenses), came my way about 6 months before I turned 61. I worked 6 more months, retired at 61, and never looked back.

    That's my biggest concern about aprilia and ducs. Component availability and cost.

    You're quite a bit away from that, at least from what I recall, regarding what yoops is saying...

    I can’t complain too much. I took a leap of faith in 2018, it’s a 2010 w/ 45k on it and the only other part it’s needed is a fuel sensor. I’ve ridden it pretty aggressively in those miles too.

    How big of a pain is it to change out that part? At least you can do it yourself.

    41° for the scooter ride in today. Lots of wildlife along the way. Should be a great afternoon at 75°. Hope everyone has is doing well today.

    1Dropped another two dying ash trees yesterday.

    This time, I left the tops of one of them in the woods (hauled the other top to the fire pit). I also left one 25' log and one 16' log in hopes of milling some lumber. Still have to think of a way to get them loaded onto a trailer.....:headbang:

    The rest of the ash is bucked and stacked just waiting to be split, hauled and then stacked again!

    I am surprised that I'm not as sore as I thought I would be since the day before I brushed the property lines for a few hours.

    Just posting since it looks like you may need something to read. :D

    Ropes or cables and pulleys can be your friend.

    Is that a twin or a v4?

    I'm eyeing a tuono 1100 v4. I rode a v4 factory tuono this summer at a demo ride and it was very nice. Comfortable too. I'm just wondering if I should get a really sporty sport touring bike like you have, an s1000xr BMW, or a Suzuki gsx1000gt or the gx1000 gt. You know, better back seat accomodations?

    V2. Wife is very comfy on the back. The top case gives her plenty to lean on plus big grab rails along the seat line. I’d say get what you want, not what would be best 2 up. Make it work cause after a couple vaca’s on it, she might not want to ride much anymore. :whistle:
