Yes I am.
Fortunatly I am able to ride for a solid 4 months every summer. I leave my home in western Canada (Calgary) and zig-zag across the U.S. ending up at my place in Elmira. Have done every state and province numerous times. (Alaska and the Yukon are the most amazing BTW). This will be my first year for touring on a HD and I am looking forward to it.
**electrarick - look forward to seeing you on the road this summer, the Finger Lakes is a beautifularea to ride in. Look for a bald old man riding the twin to your bike.

RE: Are you truly a Tourer..???
It was an '02. Served me well - no breakdowns. It's a totally different ride (doesn't wake up until 5000++ rpm). But --- I missed the Harley "soul" and it was a PITA knowing that at any given time I was probably 600 miles from a dealer. Even finding a place that had a tire in stock was difficult, and lastly ----when I had to work on it there was an hours worth of tupperware removal.
**electrarick - will ping you next summer and meet up. I'm up to my *** in snow right now[:'(]!
