In my case I had no choice wearing glasses. Lens Crafters has a warranty allowing for free changes for 90 days or so. But I couldn't drive. I'm about 20/40 and double vision without correction .... Not sure what I was before.

He had gone to the eye doc, that's why he was dilated. I personally had a retina tear several years ago that followed an ocular vein occlusion a month earlier (starburst). Not a pleasant thing, I have a permanent "floater" from the tear that can be an annoyance. Actually, we spent most of the discussion talking about vision issues, rather than my bike. I just recently had cataract lens surgery in the same eye with some complications just hours after my surgery. Tremendous pressure that required "burping" (i.e., opening the incision and dripping the fluid- yep, really). The resulting eye drops made me quite weak, preventing my usual work outs. Pressure was normal after a couple of weeks. My vision is still changing after a couple months and very sensitive to light now. I hope to get my final prescription checked in a few weeks, this after a couple of interim changed to my glasses. Sorry- more info that was required.....

I was actually hoping that I'd get the bike this week. After (additional) weeks in storage, it was back at the shop. But the bike was off the lift and the tranny was on the bench. Don said it wasn't shifting right into 3rd and was messing with the shift fork. Went back yesterday, his eyes were dilated from retina tear. Said he had trouble seeing when working on my bike. He had previously ripped his bicep working on my bike a few months ago.... not my fault.

One of the saddest songs of all time.

OTOH, the Ozarks in Misserie and Arkansas have miles of riding. Much of it with no traffic.

I'd like to do some west coast rides. Chuck posts quite a few N of LA. I'l like to do all of them and PCH up the coast. I've done a good portion of the PCH in a rented Mini Turbo Stick, but would love to ride it all. So far as the Dragon. I think what makes it so special are the sight lines. And I'm guessing that is an enticement to the hooligans: The riders have good vision rounding those tight corners.

Aren't you a business writer? I bet you know retirement rules.

paint or wrap?

They're nice bikes. Rode one when they came out. I'm guessing they're pretty reliable. Not sure whether you have to be married to a dealer to maintain it. I had to turn the guy off after about 10 seconds. I wonder whether he liked the bike?

I recently saw Paul McCartney in San Antonio. Great show. I was trying to post photos but it wouldn't take

My guess is that you'll have to start from scratch unless you're lucky enough to find some legacy stuff from Guzzi or Givi. Checked this out. They make the fairings but I see no link to the windshields. https://gpcycleworks.com/collections/air-tech?srsltid=AfmBOorzVXVMzw8LcBwJ9ML_sQTZzzghuuzQ7gNHsrzi3kyLzaaymncs

Maybe Indian can get a bail out from Argentina?

oil could be bad news. Once happened to me with fuel starvation. I was riding in hot weather. Going for fill up but the pump was broken. Hit that starter to go to another pump, impatient and didn't let the pump prime. No start. I tried several time and no go. Pushed bike to another pump, filled the tank, and finally started.

^^ What little I've seen of her vids, she's a good one to play Neil. I think she's got a little more funk but can do all the doo dahs. Not a huge Rush fan, but saw them on one of their last tours.

She's pretty racy
