Readily accessible in the tank bag! For a 1000cc bike it is fairly buzzy....I think it has something to do with it's no compromise racing design!

Come by and say hello when I'm at my turn around point in Tonopah, AZ.

Well, Kent and Auburn certainly had some heated rivalries back in the 50s and 60s among the high school crowd. One didn't venture too far into the others territory without re-enforcements close at hand.
Hinshaws Honda and Auburn were synonymous with each-other in the 60s and 70s. After all, why else would anyone go there?
Keep Going!

Uhhhh....... I do believe sportrides was talking about Tonopah, AZ, not Tonopah, NV. There ain't no McDonald's in Tonopah, AZ. There ain't much of anything in Tonopah, AZ

My mistake for sure.
I saw Tonopah and food mentioned and started getting queasy thinking about my bad experience in NV. Google shows the two to be 499 miles apart. All's well then, not sure the flies can make it that far.
Keep Going!

Just got home. Was a nice ride. 1,100 miles in about 17 hours. Easy leasure pace. I'm going to chill for 3 or 4 weeks with certified rides. Just putt around on the bikes and smell the roses or something.
That puts a nice end to 2012 with 15 certs in the calendar year. Will start again second or third week in Jan.
thanks all for the interest
