Bless you, Ben, you said it all in very few words.  Last year, returning from
vacation, out of boredom I held my Syncro at 90 mph for mile after mile just
to show a couple of BMW R1100 yuppie riders that they were not as bad as they
thought.  That was through the Tidewater area of Virginia on a perfectly calm
day, on perfectly flat, perfectly smooth roads.  The only point I made was
that I was STUPID!  If anything out of the ordinary had occurred, I would not be
here to waste your time with this e-mail.

So, with you words of wisdom echoing in my head, I will just rebuild and
spend the time I save enjoying the scenery.
