    what does the inside of our gas tank look like?

    I had to have a dent repaired in the tank right after I bought it (yeh, my fault). I took the tank to the body shop almost empty, but they had to take the pump out to empty it completely.

    Work. How is it where you're at?

    I work in the Pulp & Paper industry, very , very slow at the moment. The mill I work for will survive, but we've had massive layoffs, most of them permanent. We were bought out a year and half ago and the new owners gradually reduced the paper machines from 12 to 5 over that time period. I work...

    What do you find more entertaining?

    I like the twistys. There are a lot of great country roads around here that don't have much traffic on week days and you can ride as fast as you dare.

    Went bonkers and blew through $1200.

    I have probably spent more than that with the bar risers, Scorpians, Power Commander III, larger windshield and K&N air filter and mods.

    Question for mod lovers

    For me, its the upright riding position, I'm 57 and the leaning over tank with most of your weight on your wrists is just not comfortable. As far as modding, it makes it personal (Scorpions, K&N air filter and modded air box, Power Commander, bar risers, taller windshield and headlight mod +...
