I just bought my beast ( my 8th and largest bike, my last was a 78 Yamaha 500). It has been loved and runs like a bat outa (you know) but I am an ex mechanic, have no place to work on it, and need a contact that really knows the bike. I plan to take a 2 week trip may 2006 in the Smokies ( Deals gap). I´m 51 and live in Charlotte, NC
