i went for the ride.    like there was any choice to be made.  

this was a short 50 mile ride, temps in the 50's  roads mostly dry, snow in all the fields. it was magnificent, you should have seen the looks i got, lots of waves. the hardest part was getting it from the garage to the road in the snow.
the new drag bars feel great, the springer seat was extremely comfortable. i will have to change the mirror.

so now that i'm back home, it's time to fix the leaky roof. but now that all the snows melted off it, it no longer drips.  hm...btw.  neigbor replaced dog, got him another "chaser" so maybe another "snoopy" in the offing.
