I just returned from a 600 mile ride at 18:10 hours, to Yosimite and back. The old 750 Bonni was just great. This is my first big ride sence returning from Afganland. My right knee is good to go at this point. I was able to kick start this old B***h, several times and it was all good.!!

It feels so good to be back on the road again, on the road again. Thank you

Well, Hayell, Top, as I recomember, they flipped over yer Hummer with a IUD, or something like that. Bad leg just comes with the territory, I've had one for 40 years, and it don't signify nuthin', as long as I can walk to the bike. 'Course, I ain't kickin' the SOB, but I'm older than thee.
Still, 600 miles of 750cc vibration is impressive.
Welcome home, Brother.

YO! REDHAWK and all of the craizies out there.
Remember I have been riding these kind of vibraters sence the 1950's.My shaft drive bikes will lull you to sleep on longs rides. No chance with a old Bonni or Commando. My Norton is shimmed real tight in the motor mount department.

I plan another ride to Lake Tahoe next weekend. That will be an over Nighter because of the route. Lots of twisties on the back roads. It will be about 700 mile round trip. I will ride the Commando this time out. God fearing clipons and rear sets and all of the noise from the exhaust.

Remamber, If you aint Infantry, you aint S**T
