>Its a charity event I started last year when we lost two riders from our internet group. One left 14 month old twins. So I got the idea to have an annual meet, ride and we do an auction of motorcycle related stuff to raise money to send the families. Its a group of mostly long distance riders, some coming from California, Manitoba, Toronto, Arizona, etc.
25-35 people. Last year was in West Virginia. There's a sister event happening at the same time in England.

>2002 Honda ST1100. Great bike for long distances at speed. My wife's helmet rattels at 110 so she tells me to slow down. (I need to get her a better fitting helmet)

I'll pass on taking advantage of your typo, Re: LOST of power versus LOTS.
How's that hardtail? Are you running about 15 psi in the rear? Or do you have one of the softtail versions?

>I am to old to ride a hard tail. It's a soft tail. I like the looks of a hard tail but am not as young as I once was.
I guess I did fat finger the key board. You are right it is lots not lost.
