Doesn't matter.  Can you even begin to imagine either of us say, oh, maybe 25 years ago.  We'd be so laughing our asses off at any old geezer we saw worried about things like heated clothes or amps or fancy braided lines :huepfenlol2: .

Some of it they probably did.  But you would've needed a small trailer to pull the amp and a spare car battery backpack to run the heated clothes for an hour. 

Just can't help but be amused sometimes at some of the chit levels of detail we go to with the bikes anymore compared to how grateful we used to be just to have something that ran well enough to get you from here to there without destroying your kidneys in the process.

Rigid (suspension) has given way to firm (Corbin saddles).  Shock has gone from potholes to Bitubos.  Saddle has gone from old leather clad wood and foam to a thousand dollars of stitching, backrests and heating elements.  Occasionally riding beside a car long enough to ask the kid driving if he knows the weather ahead has gone to HawgWired digital amps powering the output from multmode stereos and component speakers with disc players and weatherbands.  Wheel bearings that last forever.  Fancy "recurve" windshields.  So much we would have just laughed at when staying up late again trying to make one bike out of two once again because you just have to get back on the road.  And with all that; tires still don't last for crap :nixweiss: .
