Hi, my name is Neal. I've got a 1997 savage with a little over 12k on it. I haven't done anything to the bike except put an oversized rear tire on it which makes the speedo read about 5mph slow but it also reduces the rpm for a given speed. I have taken some 330 + mile trips with camping gear (no kitchen) and it did quite well.

Welcome.  

I've got a 97 as well, but tend to limit my forays to around 150 miles.

So, we got us another ol' timer in here.  Welcome to our little group, Neal, pull up a chair and set a spell.  You should be right at home here.

"Neal" is a differnt kinda way to spell yer name too.  That's okay too.  Georgia is a big ol' place.  Where abouts in GA you from?  I'm near Asheville.

Heh, the folks in PA and DC probably think those of us in TX speak with a drawl... or is that a twang?

Thanks for welcoming me. I live near Carrollton, which is near the alabama state line. my twice a week ride is over to Mt. Cheaha which make for a nice 100 mile round trip. There are other retires that do about the same. We set around and slaughter the beef. I"ve got four bikes: 1995 kawasaki voyger, 1982 Honda GL500 Silver wing, 1975 T-500 Suzuki Titan, and my Savage. They all get ridden enough to keep the batteries charged. Yesterday I took the Honda on a trip to the Andersonville Confederate Prison. The trip was a bit over 300 miles. Got a little over 50mpg at speeds that were somewhat over 55mph. The temp got up to around 67 degrees. good ride.
