Must be we just don't have many "authors" among us. For instance, those of you who are also or former VRCC members are aware of Bruce Wood(aka DDT) who has around 700,000 miles on his '99 Valkyrie. No one rides more than he does, but he also posts almost every evening about his adventures of the day when he's on a trip. He writes eloquently and it makes for some very good reading if you are like me and more of a "home body" most of the time except for a couple of weeks a year. My original post wasn't necessarily intended to talk about problems with our bikes, but to inspire more people to share what is going on in their life with the F6B.
