Heh Chris,
I noticed some wood working tools in you shed and then took a look at your web page.
That's some pretty cool stuff you make there.

Thanks!!

If I could add another bike it would be a Ducati Streetfighter. 180hp and under 400lbs.

I'm a good assistant bike washer

They all look new, but I'm guess she got you the KLX?

Looks like we both need a dart board.

Being real, right now, if I was buy to a third bike, it would be the used orange Kawasaki EX500 "Ninja" at my local Kawi dealer. Don't know why I am drawn to orange bikes, being a Steeler fan living in Browns and Bengals country. But that orange EX500 looks good and has a confidence insipring riding position. Really though, I can't afford to get another bike at this time.

The last 30 miles into Albuquerque were tough. My *** hurt so bad it wasn't fun anymore. The wife was complaining by then too. The seat is only slightly better than the KLX. We're old (52), maybe if I was younger...

I'm only 5'8", and the reach on the F800 is a little long for me. My shoulders are a little sore too.

The bike performed flawlessly...

Your seat sounds like a good project for the skilled hands at Renazco. They totally transformed my KLX seat.
