Three hours to Wilno. A short video of a day trip for perogies.

I'm laid up for a bit after shoulder surgery, and can't ride this summer.

So thanks for taking me along on another relaxing ride, Nick!  :grin: :thumb: :cool:

Your speaking of the relative simplicity of some bikes and the electronic
complexity of others, reminds me that I just finished watching Neil Graham's interview with
Nathaniel Ramirez on advrider. Mr. Ramirez opines that younger riders are
less interested in purchasing an enormous, expensive, mobile video game, and much more
interested in buying a smaller, inexpensive machine that provides a more
visceral experience. I'm in the less-is-more camp concerning motorbike technology myself.
I DO like EFI, a  clock, heated grips, a couple of trip odometers, and a thermometer.
8 different ride modes with traction control, ABS, and lean angle sensors? Not for me, thanks.

Good luck with your shoulder. I hope you heal fast and regain full mobility.
I watched that too, Stretch. Apparently it is a bit of a trend among the young. Vinyl records, pocket watches - a host of analog stuff. No doubt the craven capitalists will be watching and will want do what they do best.
