That is a good thing. At Laconia the wife and I wanted to try out some cruisers...no not to replace the sportbikes but to add to the stable.

I rode a Victory Vegas Jackpot and a Star (Yamaha) Raider...and liked both. She also rode a Raider but in the Victory line she liked the Kingpin 8- Ball.

It was kinda neat because the surrounding area had some decent curves and the guys in charge liked to open them up to give you a fairly decent feel for the bikes...gotta love it.

I actually liked both bikes...now if we could only find that money tree we thought we planted.

I hear ya man...we went for the bigger house "near" the lake.

Yes we did enjoy Laconia. Partially for the event...but the fact that I had never been there...it's nice to see different parts of the country. It's also nice to hang out with good friends that we now have in NH.

I'd never been to NH until a year ago last May and now have been twice...very nice...well at least when it's not dead winter and they keep getting dumped on my snow...over and over....I'll take the south please.
