I needed to run some errands today, I grabbed a backpack and took the H2, it's about 50 degrees and mostly cloudy. Afterwards I was headed home and took the "Hammer It Through First and Second" detour.

In first, rolling on the gas, when it hit about 6K the H2 yanks it up in a big 'ol wheelie and then up it comes in second, we carry it for most of second and at this point with stock gearing I am moving right along at the top end of second. About then I decide it is time to calm down a little.

These bikes are all about having fun, and that was really fun. I am starting to like this bike.

Joe, I was just thinking about you!

I recorded 'Austin City Limits" and was watching it just now. It's The Steve Miller Band & The Preservation Hall Jazz Band.
I told my wife, Beth that you and Steve resemble each other.
I told her that you and Evans should practice some of His music and play it at the Gap.
Keep on Rockin'
Shane
