Spike is owned by both Tom and I. We went 1/2's on the purchase price
and have split costs of needed parts, registration, etc. Both names are
on the pink slip.

I am covered by insurance to ride the Harley. I'd give it a go if
I could work the clutch. I can barely get the clutch lever to move
using both hands while standing next to the bike. Ol' Sport is a
very distinctive bike.
The Concours is favorite of mine. I've pillioned an easy 4000 miles
on that bike in the last year. Unfortunately, my feet are a good
10" off the ground once I'm on her. No way I could take her for a
ride as pilot rather than pillion. If I could fit on a Concours, I'd
buy one. IMHO, the best sport-tourer made. I'm not _too_ upset
I had to settle for the Ducati 750SS as my touring bike, though. :-)

So, now you know.
