funny Allen...thanks..got me chuckling...

I do appreciate the dual tranny option on my bike..it's one of the main features and arguments for it.. I can carefully step my way through an interesting spot while other kids are having to hoss it....and I'm never in a hurry when I'm riding. I like to enjoy the trail I'm on , not try to kick it's a$$.

I mean, there is a lot of fun in running say a 250cc for all it's worth...but I'm more inclined these days to enjoy the ride AND the scenary.

I wouldn't want to give up my low end just to move up a few cc. 

I just have a standing agreement with my wife of 35 yrs about motorcycles...she worked ER when we first got together..had a couple bad ones come in on her watch...and a couple of em died on her table.  I had been riding an old Honda 360/4 before I met her but had sold both my bikes before then, so she's never known me to ride.  The CT90 is considered a bumper bike on our camper and while she knows I'm doing blacktop with it, it's just back country roads and state parks, etc. no high traffic areas and somehow the appearance of the postie is "cute" to her and she is cool with me having it (helmit included)...before you boys hammer me too hard on my man card... I've done just fine on all other topics...this is the one thing she asked me not to do when we first got hitched..it's probably even in the marriage contract someplace.  So I'm grateful for my CT90...maybe I'll just loose a few pounds (grin).
