Nuther story..... Couple years ago went to renew DL.. Was in Cleveland Ms, = no waiting!! Woot.
Went in, no one there but the lady behind the counter.. Walked up, she told me I have to take a number. OOO kay.. Took my number, she said come on up!
We went thru the spill and took the picture.. The alarms started going off... loud!! She looked at the screen, looked at me back and forth a few times and shook her head.. I asked, what's up? She said, the fraud alert is going off because you are not Baker.. Hmm.. The computer says the pictures are not the same person and she agreed.. Spun the screen around and asked, is this you?? I laughed and said it used to be!!

Springer shakes like a dog shittin' bones for starters with the EVO motor... Springer front end is heavy, but I think it actually takes bumps and holes better than the Ultra..... NO CIGARETTE LIGHTER!!!!!

Al, modern tech is good stuff. I always shake my head when I see old photos of guys riding across country on rigid frames. Sunscreen? Check. Water? Check. Hemorrhoid Cream? Check.
