nice looking bike, do you have room for a strike board
MUCH cheaper! Only feed it when you ride and no cleaning up after it - looks like a solid trade. But I bet you miss having those mules around.
Wear leathers, too Fred. Jeans hold up for about 2 feet on a 300 foot slide. Road rash for old guys like us takes a long time to heal. And, we're gettin ugly enough without adding to it!
That is going to make an excellent trail riding bike. You might have to buy a larger rear sproket for climbing though.
