Second Interstate

[zjnwing]

So back to riding after 20+ years. Had an '81 Interstate given to me last November and have added 3k miles to it through the winter.

I started riding when I was 13. I have ridden American, British, Italian, and Japanese, and the best has been the Goldwing. Last Wing was the same as this one '81 Interstate, Burgundy, I put over 120k on the last one, want to put 250k on this one (item on my bucket list).

Any way I find the internet a very good way to meet people with the same interests that I have and to have good conversations.

Ride on.

Mike

No matter where you go, there you are.
