Blue,
I really regret trading my Xc500 because it was a great ride but it was a connection to the people in this forum. In the past year, (almost), of my membership I have learned a few things that are central to this forum
1. These people are my friends. They may not like me ALL the time and vs versa but they are my band of brothers, and (sister).
2. They/we want to help each other.
3. We care about each others enjoyment of our bikes and scoots and our quality of life.
So stay connected to this forum. Reach out for help/advice when you need it. And don't do anything stupid that would put you in jail for assault. Stay in touch with your forum friends and know that we will help any way we can.
Mike
