Kudos to Roots!

As a 41 year old 'new' motorcyclist  (2 years last July, if you don't count my short stint at age 12 on a 1958 Cushman Eagle, cut short when I committed the faux pas of giving an overzealous neighborhood kid a ride and was spotted by my dad), I thoroughly enjoyed your ROOTS section in the November issue.  I fell in love with bi-wheeled transportation at a very early age, but was banned from it by protective parents.  (Note the picture.  Getting the boy trained early.  He regularly comes in with the current issue of the mag, pointing at something and saying "Awesome!")
Reading the stories of now-grown 'kids' getting to 'live the dream' on a bike with historical significance to them hit home with me.  I found myself misting up a bit, and not for the usual reason: the out-of-reach prices in the Tech Spec box!  These articles made me appreciate my 'old lady' ('81 Kawasaki 550LTD) even more.  Point me to a rechrome shop and send me a credit card offer, 'cause like Patrick said, "nobody puts baby in a corner!"

I agree, is was excellent reading, the whole issue is exceptional.

Now, if we could get them to make this forum user friendly so that is would grow, life would be like totally grand!
