I'm old and looking at 1250s seriously. However my mind is young and steering me toward 1290s. My body is old but I can still wrench. The 701e in the shop is starting to get pissy 'cause I look at other girls. My FJR has given up and just wants a man who sleeps at home every night.
I ride my truck with A/C when it gets that hot. I don't find it fun anymore past about 93°.Standing,...no one mentioned the greatest benefit, cooling it . 96 F and high humidity, here we come.
