The coffee was kicking in this morning for sure. But I just like to expand the subject as it will surely be read by other people who are thinking the same thing. Enjoy the ol bike! It's a rare bird indeed. It's amazing how high that engine will rev and actually sustain a high speed. I seriously took mine on the freeway last year and did 65 on it wide open for a while. What a well built engine! And I was on my original tires as well... just like yours but a little more worn down.
