Thank you all. I am intrigued that a feeling of being independent, freedom as some of you describe it, is number one, with locations number two. Nothing seems to beat just being there. I am not surprised, however, that being with friends also scored well, better than in any other forum of which I've...

I have a reason to ask this that I might share in the future, but I'd love to know what drives you to be a biker, and what keeps you interested.

I'm in severe withdrawal! :cry: Mr Sheen is a light silicone-based spray polish, so you might substitute Lemon Pledge or similar. It's not as slippery as Armor-all, which is dangerous o...

eet's a Montesa Crono 350, circa 1975? That engine has GOT to be a Montesa :? BBM On the other hand, now that I think on it more I'm now not at all sure that it is! But maybe something that used a Montesa engine and was sold under a US brand? I can't shake that I think the engine is a Monty. I'm sur...
