You gals are great. Thanks for the ideas and personal opinions. I will definately be looking into fiddling around with the old boy. I want to get riding more before I make another purchase so I can learn all I can. Things have change A LOT since I bought this one in 1979! We have miles and miles of dirt roads and forest trails I'd love to eventually start riding but first I have to get to the highway, LOL!
