I was going to change the original post and take out the weight issue, alepel, but your replied and also mentioned it so I'm a little too late. image OK, I just did it anyways.

I figured a bio should be a bio, so I wrote it as such. I was just trying to let people know that of all the bikes out there, I settled on the Tourer because of our size and limited space on the seat.

John, my sister lives in Kelowna, so I'll keep your name in mind if I ever get out that way on the bike.

Alan, it was the posting in Nanaimo that directed me to the forum, and I was thinking of calling you and checking out your bike, but the deal I was working on the local bike near UBC came though. Because of the condition of the bike, well ridden, I got it for $4700. Not as low as some 1100 ACE that went in the summer for $3 and $3.5, but then it doesn't need anything done, only those things I want to do.

Fredrider, you mentioned fiche, we have some kind of micro-fiche online? I'm trying to get a good priced service manual, bith after market and the Honda Service manual, and if I ever find one, a electronic on. I keep that on a jump drive and keep it with me on the bike, so I can look it over at work or where ever I'm doing work on it.
