Ya know G, the best miles i've ever made were with WC...uh, 2WF

I recall hitting south Yellowstone into the Tetons in a long line of cars we were picking off in perfect formation. the sounds of our 1500's in complete harmony was something to behold.

Now that I have my V, Mr Clean...dangit....2wheelfun...

needs the V for our ride this late spring out past the Bufford Grade.

I believe you. I do! I'm not always the best judge of character, but it's not hard to figure out what kind of person 2WF is.

Good guy and pleasant riding partner, I'm certain.

David...DITTO on the riding and company! I'm very lucky to know you and many others who I've met through these forums!!!

I also have fond memories of our 1500's singing together in perfect harmony. That was awesome!

Believe me...the V is in my mind!

Well thank you for the kind words, G!

I sure hope I get to meet you and your lovely wife some day. Maybe Red Lodge next summer?

That'd be great! If we can make it happen, we certainly will. It'd be a treat to meet all of you <not Spok... >

Anyone. Here is another question/concern I have about belt drive and maintenance.

Since I have never owned a bike with belt drive I'd like to hear from those of you who may be doing your own maintenance and what things are easy/hard to work on when it comes to a belt drive? I do my own maintenance on my 1500 and find it easy to work on the shaft driven bike so it's not that I can't do the work...I'm just not familiar with the pro's/con's of the maintenance needing to be done on belt driven motorcycles.

Thanks again for all of your input thus far!
