    Kingfish,
    40-50k a year is incredible!! If I may ask how many miles does your hawk have on it? (Though I'm sure some of the other bikes took most of the riding before)
    How long have you been riding?
    You should get a pic of two of your bike for the members rides section.
    I too like forums and I hope it grows,I'm sure it will.
    Nice meeting you, keep the posts coming.

Bike is a 9.7---------I ride almost every day and do not use cars so put on miles. I do solo riding mostly--quite a few 200 mile days,picnics etc----do not do cities ,just rural country roads.This past year,due to really wet,hot nasty weather ,i probably am down to around 30k for year. hopefully weather will get better soon!!! I will try to get a digital pic of bike( I am a net dummy and have a webtv) taken by my DIL. and post it---------nuff about me---how about you????--------kingfish

        Very cool! I'd hade to only have a bike to get around, but I've considered it and it would be rather cool. Just a pain to haul stuff, like groceries and stuff! How do you manage that?

        Welcome, and I'd also love to see some pics of the bike!
        I know I dreamed you,
        A sin and a lie.
        I have my freedom,
        But I don't have much time.
        Faith has been broken,
        Tears must be cried.
        Let's do some living,
        After we die.

          Machismo 111-----I have a set of chase harper sport bags that fit beautifully on the hawk,yet can be removed in less than a minute-----And i have a 6ft length of leather shoelace wrapped around the bungee tie pegs on each side. You would be amazed at how much you can carry-----I havent tried carrying an 8ft 2x6 yet!!-------I have removed the passenger peg assembly as i only ride solo. Kingfish
