Okay, I admit, there's also the possibility that maybe I'm just a wuss.
I remember back in the day when I had an 82 Seca, my hands would go
numb, but the nighthawk never did that to me.

Heh, I'm just thinking about the 105+ degree days I rode in here last
year. The aircooled honda with no bodywork wasn't too bad, though the
leather jacket made things pretty warm. Luckily, I don't commute across
town to Dallas anymore, so I won't have to do the stop-n-go thing on the
bike unless it's on my way out of town.

Thanks. Feels good (emotionally, if not yet physically :b) to be here.
