Saying goodbye to an old friend - new adventures coming

[Don French]

Enjoy your ride and Lurk away, that's what I do.
I just figured out that I send only to an individual and not the whole list. Duh.
I need to change my new mail address for the GPZ List and learn how the new mail account works with Outlook.com.
Be safe everyone.
Don.

> Well, I got the GPZ put back together and he runs great.  But!
> It is still very painful for me to ride longer than about 30 minutes.  I know my physique isn't what it used to be.
> While I start working toward regaining something of my previous health, I can't stand essentially being bikeless.

> I got what I feel is a decent trade-in value (since we all know dealers are out to shaft you), and it saves me the hassle of trying to craigslist it.
> Ironically, I'm trading it in to the same dealer I bought it from 12 years ago.

> I got to test ride Talyn's replacement, and I think this is going to open up a lot more roads for me.
> While I'm sad to see it go, I'm eager to get to know the new ride.

> Hope ya'll don't mind my lurking here.  you've all been a foutnain of knowledge, friendship, and good stories.

> once all of the dust clears, I'll see what's left in the shed for the GPZ that I'll need to clear out.  I know I still have that full stock exhaust system, I think I have the original chain guard and windshield, and the spare cush drive, and the service manual.  I'll know more later.
> I'm not looking to make a buck on these.  I'll offer them for the cost of shipping, because it's the right thing to do, and you guys have been great.

> So, meet the new (used) ride:
> 2007 Kawasaki Vulcan 1600 Mean Streak.
> 12500 miles.
